Hi everyone,

Recently I experienced something weird about my Hogs eggs, I found several eggs starting to collapse from the surface but they are not dead and didn't see mold growing on it, first I thought maybe it is getting dry up of the substrate, so I added some water in the box, it seem stable, doesn't look better or worst..

Couple people told me that it is normal when the eggs ready to hatch before 10-14 days, it should be ok, but some of the sunken they were laid only a month ago, I am not sure if they are ready to hath soon.

Another interesting thing is once I open the incubation box for few mins, the eggs will back to normal shape !!

Anyone here have the same experienced and know what happening may give me some advised, I really appreciate your help and information.

Thanks,



Wai
