Hi everyone,
This is our first year having eggs. First 2 were much larger than the rest. One looks pink but no veins or bullseye can be seen. its 61 days old today, looks good but shouldnt I be able to see something. Egg weighs 8 grams. its twin didnt make it past the second week. there are 3 other eggs from two other clutches that seem the same, just smaller and weigh 5 and 6 grams. All of the info and pictures I have found don't look like these when candled. The larger egg was laid in eco earth and has fibers stuck to it. could these be blocking the view? Our sons are so excited that there maybe babies on the way. The larger is incubating in eco earth. (all I could find locally at the time) Last set is in perlite, I found them buried when I wasnt expecting them so they are stuck together.
Incubator is a homemade tank with 3 gallons of water heated with a bed raised up just touching the water. wrapped in foam sheets. I was told that I should just leave the individual containers open to the humid air which is about 75-80%, Other two container I have tops on.
Thanks for any advice.
Ok just looked closer at the second set. One egg remaining. I can see veins inside if I get really close. (hey I'm old) but first larger on I can not determine. It looks as if its outside is getting brownish. I have read it could be staining from the eco earth. Same color.
