My Cal king just laid this egg about 2 days ago. It is very large, I am incubating it on vermiculite at 85 F. This egg is banding but starting to turn green. I only have 2 eggs in the incubator and one is omitting a very foul odor, I am pretty sure it is the green one. The other egg is much smaller, a more khaki-ish color and doesn't appear to be banding. Something really, really stinks.

when did the cal king have its prelay shed? lots of times they lay the bad eggs first--if it laid that particular egg 3-4 days or less after the shed, it's probably bad. also, do the eggs look "inflated"? that's a good sign. bad eggs are usually wet-skinned instead of the matte-dry, almost chalky surface look of good eggs.
