Dear Concerned Parent to Be:



I agree w/ jay's comments and would liek to add one thing. Reatined eggs do oocur and the most telltale sign that the eggs are not coming out normally is when only one or two of a clucth come out at a time with long (hours ot days) between the other eggs. I have had this occur twice w/ the same female and of all the clutches we have hatched out (250 ) these are the only incidents.



If it does happen see your vet IMMEDIATELY and she/he wil probably recommend using Oxytocin to stimulate contractions.



Hope this helps.
