slugs or tiny eggs?

[LaFilleClochette]

So I came home today to find one of my females coiling on some eggs. I wasnt really expecting eggs this season - yesI put a male in with her, BUT I didnt think think the deed was really done and she wasnt really showing any signs of being gravid etc.

She laid 5 tiny eggs.. Im not sure they are viable, because they kind of resemble slugs, but they also arent super yellow. Should I give it time and see if they are good, before giving up or are they definetly slugs?

Looks like slugs. Take a flashlight and candle them if you see veins there ok but they look like slugs. Im no expert though

would they show veins first day?

Believe as soon as they are laid the veins are visible with a flashlight no veins they are slugs

I see 5 slugs. Sorry. How large was the female?

1400 g or so. If they were slugs would she
Cool around them still? I know with chickens they will abandon bad eggs

They look like slugs, but I would still candle them. You could do that now, just be careful of a protective mom!

Looks like slugs you can still candle them to make sure if you wish too.



Top is a fertile egg, bottom is an infertile egg.

And yes females coil around slugs just like sometimes they kick perfectly healthy eggs out too.
