    Eggs Look Wet?

    These eggs are about a week old. They dimpled abit due to humidity issues within the first 24 hours. Now they look like they got wet. There is no condesation on them, or the press n' seal. Just on the wall about half way up. Humditiy is about 90- 95% and temps are 88- 89 but holding at 88.5 (proportional thermostat). What is wrong? Thanks.

    They gray bloching on the eggs. In the first pic, the second was just dimpling, and the third is when they were first layed.

    If you mean the little gray spots, that's not bad. My eggs get those from time to time, if you mean larger areas about the size of a quarter or larger, you can try painting the area with liquid bandage to stop it from growing. Try candling the eggs to see if the embryo is still alive, if you don't see good veins there's not much you can do.

    Re: Eggs Look Wet?

    As long as you have good veins and see movement in your eggs, your good. I think your humidity is too low....I would add water and get the humidity up to 100%.... Make sure your tubs are sealed good.... As long as you have that grate in there you can saturate the crap out of your medium....

    The medium is very saturated, its like mud. the tubs seem sealed well with press n' seal and a lid. and there is condensation there is no more dimpling and the gray is not getting worse.
