It says they use vermiculite in their laying chanbers not perlite, just an observation.

"If you are wondering why the eggs are all dirty looking, it is because we use moist Vermiculite in all of our egg laying chambers. We have found it to be the best lay-box medium."

Thanks

My mistake. Don't use perlite in the layboxes. I just use it in the incubator. I use Vermiculite(sp) in the lay boxes.

Sorry should read before I post.
