Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them.

    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....

Well here is my situation. I have been hatching eggs all winter no problem except for an occasional that was obviously not fertile. But I have had several eggs here lately that were obviously fertile and go bad just a few days before they are due to hatch. They start to get weepy looking like the fluid inside is starting to weep out of the shell and then they start to get that deflated look and/or feel to them. Eventually they just go bad and never hatch. Is this just eggs that weren't meant to be or is there a problem with incubation? The temperature hasn't been changing I have kept a close eye on that. Is it possibly the moisture/humidity? Any advice would be helpful.
Thanks

It could be that your incubation medium is a little too wet. Are you positive the eggs were fertile? Did you cut them open before throwing them out and if so was there a dead baby inside?
 
No I haven't cut any open I guess I can try that. UGGHH I guess I really should! I haven't noticed the perlite being to moist. I check it every time I check on the eggs it appears ok.
