I just cut open two of my questionable eggs. ( I was 100% sure they were dead) Both had dead babies in them. One you could just tell it was a baby (this egg swelled up suddenly then shrunk and died) and the other was close to hatching still was connected to the yolk. ( clutch mate hatched 3 days ago). No obvious deformity. What causes this? This is the third time this has happened. I want to try and prevent this, next year.
Wondering if it could be my pair? They were rescues and they weren't being housed properly. They were already being housed together when I got them. I don't plan on breeding them next year.
My incubation temp is 84. Perlite is mixed .7:1 ratio. Eggs are marked and placed in deli cups with small air holes, 1 clutch per cup. I don't handle them after that. I do take the cups out once/ twice a week to weigh, replace water, or candle by putting a flashlight beside the egg.
