Egg Bound

I had a girl lay 6 eggs last night, one is a little runt egg, but it looks like she still has an egg in her. It seems to be in the right direction, as far as I can tell. I noticed this when I was taking the eggs from her, do I leave her for another day to see if she passes it or do I take her to the vet immediately?

Never mind! I massaged the area when I had her out and either her getting pissed at me did the trick or the massage did, she passed it just now. 7 eggs, 797g, with 1 runty one that probably won't make it! great looking clutch, I'll post pictures later.

Glad that worked out well, congrats and good luck!

give the little runty one a chance. You may be pleasantly surprised.

Thanks guys, I've definitely learned not to give up on an egg until it starts rotting, the runt is in there with the rest of them. It is very very tiny, but hopefully it'll make it!

Have you tried candling the runty one to see if it looks good?

And congrats on the clutch, BTW.

I candled them all, the big 6 look great, but I didn't see any veins in the small one. I'm leaving it in there of course, but I'm not expecting great things from the little guy. Such is life!
