EGG PEOBLEMS! HELP! HELP!

bluetreefingers Apr 24, 2006 06:14 PM

NOTE: this is the second time i post this message, maybe it went unseen maybe it didn't... i really need help. im a bit worried here.

my famale laid her fist clutch on 4-6-06 and both eggs had a very light pink circle facing up.
i was told to put the eggs in the incubator in the same position she had laid them, so i did.

today my female laid her second clutch, and both eggs had the
pinkish circle facing down. i still put the eggs in the incubator the same way i found them (in this case with the pink circle down)... does this pink circle mean anything?

is it supposed to be facing up?

i placed them in the incubator this morning, im truly hoping i didnt do anything wrong and if i did i hope its not too late...

any advice can come in handy

thanks
aaron

As long as you put the eggs in the incubator the same way you found them, there should be no issue... It does not matter much where the pink spot is.... Infact, I do not bother candling eggs at all anymore.... Back when I did, I have seen the "pink spot" on the sides, bottom and top.... It normaly takes a couple of hours for the embryo to attach itself to the egg wall... Dont worry, just put them in the incubator the way you found them....
