Egg update...

Gregg_M_Madden Jun 23, 2010 05:14 PM

Hey peoples!!!
Ok, I let the eggs for a few days without messing with them at all... I did a quick candling just to check the fertility...

It seems that 8 out of the 12 eggs are showing big signs of life... the rest do not have any vessels growing... Still not bad for such a young first time breeder...

Humidity is at a steady 98%... Temps are at 81.5 right now...

Eggs are nice and turgid and dry at the same time... I will not ditch any eggs until they start growing a big white fuzzy beard... LOL

Good stuff man. It's not the white beards that you need to worry about, it's the greens and blues. I like to give any eggs that have a bit of mold developing a quick wipe off with a q-tip and that seems to do it, but mold doesn't happen often.
