I am pretty sure 3 of them are duds, but the others look pretty good??

Yeah, I agree with Bob about the two definitely looking like duds, but it won't hurt to incubate them with the rest, placed a bit away from the others. This way, if they start to go bad(which is very likely), they won't be in close proximity to the others and possibly get them funked-up too..LOL!

If you see those bad looking ones really collapsing up and spoiling, I would certainly toss them, and concentrate your efforts on all those great looking eggs you have there.

BTW, what type of eggs are they from?

good luck with them man!

A high-yellow brooks male, paired with a lavender female. He also mated with my snow, so this should be an exciting first effort!

The bigger one of the three looks good in the picture, I would try to hatch all of them. In about a week take a pen light and hold up against the egg, if you see any blood vessels, it is good, but if you don't, I would try to hatch anyway. Some times the vessels aren't always visible at first.

I agree with Bob -- you have nothing to lose by trying to incubate them all. The pen light trick works. Only when an egg is looking really bad (and smells bad, too) wuld I remove it. Stinky eggs can attract flies . . . Good luck!
