Problems with my girls eggs

[mattywy]

About 2 weeks ago my reverse stripe girl dropped out an infertile egg, it just came out infertile. Exactly a week later, she had another fertile egg come out that within about 3 days started to dent and eventually turned brownish and obviously infertile, or so it seems. Then, unexpectedly, exactly a week later after that, she dropped another egg that looked great. about 5 days after being in the incubator, the third egg began to dent and turn brownish. I am incubating at 81 degrees. Any ideas on what could possibly be going wrong?

she is laying them to early for some reason, shouldnt be able to lay another egg for at least 16 days apparently... is ither first time breeding? she may just not have got the hang of it?

I have had the same problem. To early in the season. My females all most all of them lay bad eggs there first time. The 2nd time they lay are good ones. The reason is i have no idea why this happens. But it has been happening to me for sometime know. I get about 6 bad eggs a year which isnt that much to me because my females will give me alot of eggs i do have 3 of them so im not to worried about the first season eggs. And it is all LUCK but make sure you are pairing your groups right. I drop the female in with the male. Because the male are a little more mean. So but dropping the female in when she is Ovulating(SP) will make you have better eggs. And you will be able to tell if it is done right. I hope this helps you out.
