This is my first year breeding and this is my second clutch of the year. This clutch consisted of 6 eggs. They were laid on April 25th. I have a few questions about these eggs.
The two eggs that I am concerned with, and you will see in the pictures, were kicked out of the coil when I found her/them. The four plump, normal looking eggs were coiled.
The eggs could have been laid up to 24 hours before I found them.
My main concern is the seriously dimpled/caved and opaque-windowed eggs you will see in the pictures.
The two discolored/dimpled/caved in eggs DO have veins just like the normal looking ones. The eggs were dimpled like they are now when I found them. The 4 that were coiled have plumped up considerably since I put them in the incubator. The other two have not. However, they still have good looking veins like the rest as far as I can tell.
But the two eggs in question are going from mostly white, to having these large opaque areas on the shell as well. They just look discolored compared to most normal eggs I have seen, and compared to my other clutch.
My temps. are shown in the pictures. The 89.2 temp was being taken from the tub with the eggs in question.
It is definitely not low humidity...humidity around 90%.
Here are the pics....any info/advice/ideas?? Thanks in advance.
