Well, I had 11 eggs, but not all were fertilized. Yes, I've opened them up to check and they weren't fertilized. I also had three eggs stuck together, The middle one got moulded pretty bad so I cut it out to save the other ones, this one was fertilized unfortunately but it gives me hope for the rest.
They were laid about 16 days ago so I don't think they're about to hatch right now. As I understand it it will take about 6 weeks for that to happen.
When the egges were laid they were bright white, after a short time, let's say a day, some became brownish. Now 4 eggs, of the remaining 6, are brownish and caving in, one is getting mouldy but I try to keep it clean.
One egg is big and pretty white and one egg is very white but hasn't grown at all.
what else do you need to know??

: You say 6 left. What happened to the others? Did they hatch? If these are close to hatching, they will dimple. How about a little more info. how long ago were the eggs laid? were they always this color? if the others hatched, how long ago was that?
