IS THIS NORMAL???

cv768 Mar 22, 2004 11:57 PM

Okay the eggs were laid Saturday night, 2 of them. One on top of the other. The incubator is set at to 83 degrees and I put the eggs into a tupperware container with lightly misted peat moss in the exact position I found them.

The eggs weren't in the nesting box when they were found. They were out for about 10 hours before I found them and the top egg has deflated a bit. I was told to keep the humidity up and do the paper towel trick but the top egg still has not inflated. Both eggs are soft and were pure white but are now a yellow tinge.

Is this normal??? The tinge and deflation?
