Just toss em?

[ghiigh33]

My first time breeding female just laid her first clutch of eggs. In the water dish. They are very crinkly and not filled like my fertile ones were. They seem light weight and candled completely yellow greenish color. I tossed em after a day in the incubator. What do you guys do with your seemingly infertile eggs and did I make the wrong decision by tossing them?

Unless we have pics it's hard for us to tell if the egg has any possibility of being fertile or not

Assuming that the water dish had water in it, the eggs (even if fertile) probably wouldn't have been any good. I keep all my eggs until they either hatch or completely collapse and rot. Just had a nice little surprise three days ago. An egg that should have hatched a couple of weeks ago (based on incubation temp), just hatched for me. Bob

Thanks guys. Does anyone know what percentage of femaleswill lay a fertile clutch after a dud first clutch? Is this something to re-introduce about?

From what I can tell it is pretty random, some females could lay multiple clutches of fertile eggs their first season. Another female may lay one or two clutches and be completely infertile.
