a molding egg......

gooofycivic Jul 04, 2006 01:01 PM

i have a clutch w a molding egg in the center....i didnt remove it because it stuck to the others.....but when i pulled on it....it slightly loosen but not all the way....well my concern is i see brown mark/spot where the moldy egg had contact....should i be concern about this...because i heard that healthy eggs dont get moldy even if its next to one.....its my first clutch so i guess im overly concern.....should I?....thanx for looking

Moldy egg shouldn't be a problem. I'd recommend you leave it and not worry. Other eggs should be just fine. Python Joe

I had the same thing happen, and being my second clutch I was freaking out! 4 weeks later, the egg with the discolored spot is fine, and I am sure your eggs will be as well!
