    Egg windows

    Well u had my first clutch of the season drop yesterday and I'm really excited.
    Three eggs from a normal female X pastel,cinny and a pin. Who's your daddy... Anywho one of the three eggs was condensating from itself. The incubation temp is 88.7 and egg box temp is also 88.7. Vermiculite for substrate.. All eggs have veins and one of the three has a window now. Thinking of going to get a light grate and liquid band aid and anti fungul powder for a first aid kit..
    There is no condensation on tub or lid just onthat part of one egg... I think I have evrything under control and it is why it is kinda scenario.... And tips help and suggestions are appreciated thanks!

    Re: Egg windows

    Eric windows are thin areas where the eggs didn't fully develop. At least that's how it was explain to me. So in my thinking it is a posibility that the windo is letting the moisture inside the egg come out. As for the treatment I am not sure how to treat it. Maybe a more experienced breeder can chime in.

    I think ifi the window part of the egg is seeping then it may be possible ot stop it wit hthe liquid band aid. ( not 100% on this ) but Ithink it would form a barrier and slow( possible stop) the leakage as areferedto above. I been lucky and never had a window with my one b clutch of eggs in the past.

    Re: Egg windows

    Any moisture coming from the egg is caused by sweating.

    99% of the time its cause that egg is cooler than the surrounding temps. I currently had one and i put it in its own egg tub and sweating stopped. The windows usually dont harm anything but liquid band aid can help
