what to do if an egg has glued to the laybox?

[strigoii]

:main_huh:
One of fresh laid eggs was glued to the bottom of box... I don't know what to do - should I leave it there? And I think it is infertile - it is yellow, when candling (but has some sort of pink disk inside - I've seen something similar with infertile eggs last season).
Some photos (I've taken them four hours later after laid)
The first egg -

The second (the glued one) -

what do you think?

After just being laid, there will not be a whole lot of pink in the egg. It's best to assume that they are fertile. I would 'excavate' around the egg, and see if that doesnt help. If it is still stuck, I belive I have heard of people putting a small amount of water at the base of the egg and seeing if that helps, I have never done this though, so I can't speak from experience. If the bottom of the container is somewhat flexible maybe you could 'flex' the bottom and get the egg to unstick??? If it is at all possible to just keep the egg stuck to the bottom and just incubate the whole lay box (however impractical, I know) then I would do that. No sense in risking tearing the shell if you don't have to.

If you do tear the egg (a little) you can bandaid it with a peice of paper towel and it will still have a chance at hatching. - Has anyone thats ever had this problem try cutting the plastic and just incubating it with it still attached?

When this happens to me, I keep bending the box and flexing the area where the egg is stuck. It will usually come off.

I've made it! both are in incubator now
But could they be fertile with the yellow glowing?

Yes they could both be fertile, I would wait a week and then candle them again and if you see more red then you know that the embryo is growing. Just be patient:main_yes:

I candled them again - both looks fertile!!
I am very excited, because they are from a 3 year old white&yellow (calico) female, first ever fertile and it is her third, or fourth clutch
