My first clutch ever is in the books!

I am thrilled now that Copper has laid and happily taken a small meal. It looks like I have 11 nice plump eggs, 1 slug, and 1 ??? (slegg or ugg perhaps). It was absolutely nervewracking just moving the clutch from laybox to incubator! I don't think my hands shook that much when I held my own kids for the first time...weird. Glad that's done.

Anyway should I do anything with the slug and slegg/ugg (whatever it is). As you can see they are pretty well attached in the center of the clutch. The slegg is actually a little squishy on the slug end, but nice and firm on the egg end. Any thoughts?

I'd say just leave them for a while, especially with that placement. Several of mine went moldy, but I got that completely under check with foot powder. It's day51 over here (with my first clutch ever,) the bad eggs are still in the incubator and never even started smelling or spreading mold to attached good eggs. Those are just my thoughts.
