They look fine -- I've seen worse egg pictures posted on this forum make beautiful babies. Keep an eye on the brown spot tho - you might need to tend to it if it looks like it's spreading.



For the next clutch you might want to d a little tweaking on the hovabator:

I like to put as much damp substrate into the egg box as I can - this way there is a lot more water inside the tub to help prevent drying out to begin with. It also helps to keep temperatures inside the egg box more stable.

Take out the chicken wire and plastic piece in the bottom and just put the egg box right on the bottom of the Hov - this will keep the eggs a little farther away from the heat coil and help keep them from drying out.

If you put some water bottles in the Hov. around the egg box it will help stabilize temps and keep the heating coil from kicking on all the time (which will also keep from drying out the eggs).

Good luck!
