I often read "are these eggs any good"? Well I put together a little pictorial of some eggs at different stages just to show some "signs" of what I look for from my own experience .....I'm sure folks have different experiences from medium types to temps , times , humidity and a whole lot more....
"Let's say All' Natural"<~~~ya gotta roll yer tongue
Here is a nice 6 egg clutch ready to hatch - and ALL look very viable and should hatch out.
Now these two ....going to be duds. Notice the darkened area around the bottom of the eggs?
Here is an Egg that was retained to long within the females reproductive system thus being "over calcified" aka "Lemon Egg"
One of my females lays these trippy eggs (and borrowing the term from a forum member - as I just love the name - Thank you Allegra)
Freshly laid "Wonky Eggs"
Yea and Nay ....
The egg on the left will be good ...the one on the right a dud
The first pip and breath of O2 ...and so amazing as the shape is just like the "beaks" shape.
Bingo!
