The photograph I posted of the Hondo eating maybe misleading, I rinsed and dried the eggs prior to feeding them to my Hondos. I also took the photo with my phone under florescence lights.
How can you tell eggs are bad?
Small in size.
Yellow shell (not white).
Flaccid and not turgid.
No blood vessels and lack of any visible allantois or yolk sack.
Still not sure?
Then candle the eggs after a week, if it looks like a light bulb (uniformly yellowish inside) with no blood vessels present, it's not fertile.
Don't want to risk it? Wait a few more weeks, the bad eggs will start to change color and eventually start to stink.
A fertile eggs looks like:


OK Frank...here's a test for you, no multiple choice!!!
How many good eggs are in this picture?

Hope this helps you out.
