Infertile eggs?

[johnnyboy4783]

Check temp today, to make sure they are steady. but noticed when the eggs were laid they were not hard just soft but had like couple hard spots. and now they still haven't hardened up and look yellow almost ? do you think they are infertile??

If they look deflated and squishy then they are probably infertile. Fertile eggs usually plump up within a day.

they are not deflated but a little squishy

Sometimes fertile eggs will do that if the mother was calcium deficient which makes the the egg shell is thin. Also, make sure your incubation medium (perlite, vermiculite, etc.) isn't too wet. The proper ratio is: 1 part medium to 0.8 parts water by weight.

okay i will redo the vermiculite do it a little drier and see if that helps them out
