Turns out they were not resorbed by my female.
I thought the soil in my external nest box was a bit dry and perhaps I should spray it down a bit.

I started to dig on the oppisite side of the 10 gallon from where my female just laid a clutch.
As I'm digging I feel a "squish" and see some white.
WOW! ANOTHER EGG!
Once I started to carefully escavate this nest I found 4 more perfect eggs!!
WOOOOWHOOO!
I think I may have damaged the first one,

Damaged egg top in this photo. #3 clutch

I have no idea how old these eggs are...but they are at least a month older that this latest clutch, #4

I have 9 eggs cooking right now, one from the 4th clutch is going south, and one from the 3rd clutch maybe damaged.

Expecting 7 eggs to go full term.


Top 2 eggs in this photo are questionable.

Hi Mike, it's Quig from the forums. I've been meaning to ask, have you got family in Michigan. I know some Heinrichs in Au Gres. Just curious.

No, I came from a fairly small Chicago family. My grandfather and his German family were from inner Chicago. He only had 2 kids, my father and a daughter.

Is that just a topsoil mix of some sort?

Thanks,
Mike.

It's top soil, sand and fine cypress mulch.

The egg I thought I damaged has puffed up overnight and looks good!
The one egg from clutch #5 is definately bad

The correction, these are clutch #4 and #5.

Waiting on 8 eggs to hatch now.
