In regards to your last question in the original post about what happened. My guess would be that the male either didn't transfer sperm to the dame, he is infertile or the sperm never made it to the ova to fertilize them. I don't think it had anything to do with the female.
Well, you were right, they didn't make it even a week before they were all starting to rot. I've got another female who just had her pre-lay shed, so I'm hoping those are fertile!
The pairing from the infertile eggs was the same as last year so I know that male is fertile. I'm still perplexed by the "blood pockets" inside the eggs. It almost looked like they were fertile at one point and then died before being laid...... I don't know...... I guess that's what makes this hobby interesting, there are ups and downs, hopefully the rest of the season will be more on the up side..... c'mon het clown X het clown eggs
