Hello BP.net community!!! Thanks in advance for your views, input and comments!!!
I have a question on whether or not I should try to separate my eggs since the infertile ones are getting mold on them, or should I just do my best to fight the mold.
My first clutch of the year was 8 eggs from my green pastel female (2011 from Bailey) on 6/29/14. I candled them and 4 out of the 8 are infertile. I didn't get to them before they all got stuck together so I put all of them in the egg box. Today (12 days in) I noticed mold on the bottom of all of the infertile eggs and the infertile boob egg is starting to smell. I looked at some old post and one said to clean the mold off and use anti-fungal powder or cream so I did.
I followed the thread for "How to set up an egg tub" (press and seal and all) and while my humidity was stable at 90% and I incubate at 86-87(I know others do 89 but lower temps work for me). I think my vermiculite was to wet (totally my fault), so I did a 1:1 ratio this time by weight.
So should I try to separate them to save the good eggs or will I hurt them by trying to save them?
