Our first clutch of eggs is finally here. I am just bustin. You can really tell the difference between a first timer and an experienced person like Hoppy by our posts. Yeah Yeah eggs blah blah; and Im jumping up and down. LOL Anyway, heres hoping that all 16 hatch out. 14 look good. 1 feels kind of slimy and sticky, and 1 is just small and shaped sort of funny. I think they are all good though. Thanks for looking.

yellow with a rubbery shell and not a dryer looking white shell are duds probably.....

I am not telling you to throw them out.....(I do ,but I threw out hundreds.... )....

....I like to take them apart from the rest so they don't rot or mold and ruin the rest (at times yes and at times not)....

....better to leave them if you never pulled eggs apart before.....

......good luck.........

The pics dont do these eggs justice...LOL. They dont look as yellow as in the picture but I will definitely keep an eye on them. Since I have no experience with eggs I am going to leave them together for now. If one does start to rot what should I do? Thanks.

you can pull the dead /dud ones off the pile..

or let them stay if they dry ,and don't rot too badly....

if they rot ou may have to whipe mold off every week or whatever....

if they get maggots from fruit flies...you will have to pull them off or cut them out....cut their shell and pull rotten parts out of pile........

I pull....but I have ripped good eggs....(have taped them shut too)....doesn't always work........

.....

...........if NOT TOO WET they should just dry out and be ok to leave.......

Think you are excited now, just wait until they start piping.
THEN you will really get excited.
Good luck

I cant imagine if I had to deal with so many snakelings at once. Hopefully one day though. About how many are you expecting? Best of luck with yours as well.
