Odd Eggs

[Mooglebass]

I found eggs that my tang bell enigma female laid sometime in the last 24 hours. She laid them in the water dish of all place, she hasnt figured out the laybox yet I dont think. Anyway they are very oddly shaped. Like long and round and pointy. I have candled them both and I see "bullseyes" in both eggs. Incubated them and see what happens?

When in doubt, incubate. I have had both shorter, fatter eggs and longer, skinnier eggs hatch with equal success.

Also I have another question. I have had 2 eggs in since 4-9-10 and nothing. I have candled them and they are bright pink. Just taking their time?

What is the incubation temperature?That doesn't strike me as an unreasonable period of time if the eggs have been kept in the low 80s. As long as they still look viable I would leave them.

82-86 it bounces because I do not have a proper thermostat, just what came with the hova-bator. I have had 3 eggs hatch, with in 45 days this year so Im not sure. I will just wait it out.

As long as they are not decaying and endangering your other eggs there is no harm in leaving them.

 

[Mooglebass]

Not decaying and not harming my others. Thanks for the help Tony.

Same here, that is the beauty of nature they just come in all shapes and sizes
