    Egg issues please help

    I just noticed today that 5 of my 6 eggs incubating have a funky colored spot on them.

    Should I be worried?

    It's a Mojave × Mojave clutch laid on july 21.

    I have another clutch in the same incubator that should be hatching this week, they look great.

    What's gone wrong with these eggs?

    That's just a window. It's where the egg shell didn't form correctly. But it let's you see the baby

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

    More correctly, those are areas of demineralization/decalcification. Nothing too particularly worrisome about them, just be careful around those areas as they are not as strong as fully-formed parts of the egg
