Do these eggs look right?

My incubator temps are about 88 give or take a single digit, vermiculite is nice and moist, but not too damp, and these eggs are my first clutch. I tried to google pics, but all I can find are pics of perefectly white eggs. these eggs had these spots when she dropped them, they just seem more noticable now.

this pic was taken immediately after she finished laying

they were all candled and have veins, I am just curious about those spots

Look fine to me..

They'll be fine. Those spots are just where some of the calcified shell has formed abnormally. Here are some pics of two clutches from last year that show some similar spots. They aren't the best examples but it's just what I have off the top of my head. All of the eggs hatched just fine.

Thank you for posting this thread! I literally logged on just now to put up the same exact questions with eggs that look almost identical.

The more replies on this one the better folks. New bee breeders are freaking out!

Very good news indeed! I have only been here a day now and have to say this site is much better than KS

Thanks guys!

I am sooo paranoid about my eggs. I keep peeking through the bator window...lol.

you and me both! would anyone else care to chime in on the topic?

Those eggs are fine, just relax. Everything will be fine. I have seen eggs like that before. They all hatched.

you should be good....best of luck

my third clutch looked worse than that. they all hatched and ate fine so I wouldn't be too worried. if you don't mind me asking how big was the female. my biggest females seem to lay the healthiest looking eggs and my smaller females tend to lay the spotted eggs.

This female was a nice normal that I raised up from about 400 grams to 1600 when she bred. I didnt get a weight on her before she dropped, I am going to weigh her out this weekend to see how much she lost in the process.

Interesting to know that larger/ older females drop the "whiter" eggs
