Infertile eggs

[muddoc]

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.

Wow did no one read what was said by the OP? This is the exact same pairing as last year from what the OP says... Same male same female... I actually had something similar to this happen to me this year. The eggs were laid with no outer shell, like one solid window, I could see everything in the egg but mine had veins, they molded within a few days and I knew they were not going to make it. Other than that not sure what went wrong... I hope someone gets some ideas on your problem as well as mine. Good luck on the het. clown x het. clown.

I'm guessing that you did not read all of the responses, because I clearly posted 2 other options besides male infertility, that could have produced the given outcome. In case you can't find it, I reposted it above.

In regards to your statement about a large windowed egg, that is a completely different problem. That sounds to me like your female did not feel that she had the stored energy to full shell the eggs. There was a lack of calcium on the eggs, and while your egg had veins, it lacked the protective barrier to keep out infection or disease. The lack of a shell meant that the very permeable membrane that was left holding the egg together could easily have let in microorganisms that detroyed the fertile eggs.

I hope that helps,
