An Egg Turned Blue
ARGH! Why was it so easy last year, and so difficult this year?
Three clutches of eggs.....
Clutch 1... 10 eggs. ALL have big beautiful veins... but they all show signs of "moisture distress".... too much moisture... and four are white and fuzzy.... I have the lid off the cage for the substrate to dry out a bit. Anything else to do other than anti-fungus powder on the fuzzy eggs?
Clutch 2... started as 6 eggs, 6 slugs... now one of the "good" eggs is turning blue... right now it's just blue speckled, or rather patchy blue.... do I hold out hope, or do I pitch it so it won't corrupt the rest of the eggs? The rest of the eggs are showing good veins
Clutch 3... Started as 21 good eggs... one ruptured, the rest seem fine ... crossing my fingers on this one.
--------------------------------------------------------
Non-Corn Clutch #1: 12 eggs, two are blue, smelly and squirming with maggots (ARGH! What do I do????)... the rest seem fine... the bad eggs are attached to good ones.
Non-Corn Clutch #2: 15 eggs...the first one laid seems to be smelling bad... can't see any veins.
