3 of the 12 eggs lyla laid a few weeks ago were never looking good
just had a peek in the incubator (i check every 3 days) and theyre no fully caved and going a greeny colour.
i managed to get one out that was only connected by a stringy thing but the other two are fully stuck to the other GOOD eggs and i dont want to risk tearing the shells.
some mould has started to grow on on of the bad eggs, at the minute i just fully buried it in vermiculite but i fear this probably isnt helping.

Help?

thanks guys, ive just left them attatched and used a bit of plasticard to shave off the mould growth
the others are looking good :)

You could also try cutting away the bad egg, just leaving a little bit stuck to the good eggs..
probably best to just leave them though.

Spagnum moss is good to put lightly over the top of eggs as it has anti fungal properties

It is rare that mould will grow and effect healthly eggs. I have heard of people flossing eggs to seperate them but I would just leave them togther.
