    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

So I have one good egg left, but it is very firmly stuck to two eggs that are starting to rot. Dental floss is not going to separate them. One of the eggs has a good inch square that is stuck to to the good one, and the other is firmly stuck to the other bad one and the good one as well.

So...do I just let the rotting eggs rot. Or do I take an X-acto knife and slice off the rotting eggs, leaving the part of the shell that is stuck on the good egg behind?

There is no mold as of yet, just collapsing egg.

I really want to save this good egg so I'm willing to suffer the stench of cutting open a bad egg if that's what it takes, but if that is the riskier move I don't mind living with the smell of slowly rotting eggs.

I have heard in the past that you should just let the bad ones lay, but I'm just double checking. There were two other bad ones, but they were easily removed without risking the good one.

Just to clarify, they are *really* stuck together, I fear any floss or pulling would rip open the good egg.
 
Leaving it alone! Thank you. Yeah I really feared pulling them apart that just sounded like an accident waiting to happen.
 
You can try athletic foot powder to kill the mold but hasent worked for me. The risk of tearing the good egg isnt worth it. Once they get to the point where they are about to hatch the eggs pull apart easily thats when you pull it apart.
 
Im not a big fan of the rotten egg smell so in the past i have used a razor & drained the rotten eggs attached to the good one. Once its drained then i would carefully remove as much of the bag egg shell left as possible. Be very careful tho as im sure you know you dont want to cut your good egg. I even went as far as to spray some f10 on a paper towel & clean what is left stuck to the good egg. Ive had good luck with that. Good luck with your remaining eggs.

I'm not thrilled by the rotting egg smell myself. I'm sure it's *no* fun to drain the rot out of an egg either. If the scent gets too bad I might just try that. Ugh.

Thanks for the well wishing on the remaining good egg (lost the other three already), there's a Panda Pied in there...I just know there is. ;)
