    Do these eggs look normal?

    First two clutches of eggs, so I'm not sure if I'm just being panicky about them. They were laid about 10 and 12 days ago and have been in a 6 quart tub with perlite that's been staying at around 100% humidity ant 88-89 degrees. One clutch was laid with little bumps and the other had a few dimples originally, but they seem to all be dimpling more after just this small amount of time. Even though my hygrometers read 99%, it seems dry in there when I check on the eggs (and I have added water at this point so the perlite is saturated to just below the egg crate. I have not seen any condensation on the inside of the tubs. Yesterday I added press-n-seal to see if that will increase humidity, but it doesn't seem much different today.

    Yes they are normal, not all eggs are pearly white and smooth.

    Totally normal. I have 2 clutches in the incubator now that aren't as nice looking as those

    Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.

    Thanks so much everyone! I'll stop worrying and let them be while I wistfully count the days...
