OK gang. I've heard an overwhelming amount of "Your eggs are bad!" so I've been keeping an eye on them and not expecting much... But today I noticed they are getting hard and turning even darker--brownish black. So I figured, it's time...

I went ahead and dissected them and luckily, no babies (whew!) I thought the process was pretty interesting though, so I'm sharing the photo I took and the details for those interested:

The egg I took a photo of here was AFTER I pulled the shell off! You can plainly see the veins I had been seeing. After piercing this shell, about half was thick, like a hard boiled egg, and about half was watery like vanilla pudding. The smell was AW. FUL.

Anyway, thanks so much for everyone's input and encouragement. Now if anyone has a guess as to whether this egg was fertile for maybe the first day or so, pass on a word. I didn't see any fetal development of any kind in either of the eggs.

Thanks again, everyone!
