Egg Question

[geckoeyez]

Hello, my raptor female laid two eggs on july 4th. I candled them about a week ago and today. One egg is bigger than the other and the bigger egg is pink with a pinker spot in the middle so I know its fertile. But the other smaller egg is yellow. When I candled it last time it was yellow too. Theres no spot in the middle that I can see, but the egg is fine (no mold or dents). So will this egg go bad? Has anyone ever had a egg that they candled and it was yellow and then it hatch? I was just wondering. I am going to keep it in the incubator until it goes bad or hatches (I hope it hatches). Thanks for looking!

I have the same issue right now, a good looking egg that candles yellow. 3 weeks in with no mold, no dents, no growth, no pink.

I have never had a yellow egg after a week turn fertile. There are some people here that say that it could turn fertile but I have yet to see it happen. I know, I know...."incubate until theres no debate" Maybe it's just my eggs. But if I don't see a bulls eye right away, I still incubate, but I have never had one all of a sudden turn pink inside with veins. In my experience, which is limited, if it's not fertile within a few days that you can tell for sure, it probably won't be. In saying that, don't toss any eggs out until your positive it won't magically turn fertile. But I would say, and this is only MY OPINION, if it's been 2 weeks and it's still yellow clear with no growth, its a dud. Straight up.

if it's not pinking up in the first week of incubation, it's a dud.

It's been 2 and a half weeks and the egg hasn't molded. It appears to be growin too. I candeled it a couple days ago and it looks like its getting pinker. Just an update.
