    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. 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. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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....

My Jalisco Milk laid 10 eggs. After a day or two they were showing signs of dehydration. I candeled them thinking they were no good but I could see veins. I have since then rehydrated them (most of them except a couple on the top of the pile) but they have developed dark spots on the shell. I candeled them last night and could still see veins but they weren't as transparent as before. Does this sound normal or did I lose them to dehydration? any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanx

If you use moss in the laybox, that could explain the dark spots. The moss stains the eggs.

Some of those look ok still but others don't. I would just incubate them all and see what happens, making sure that you don't allow them to dry out again. You can always pull out the gonners later.
 
All I am using is vermiculite mixed 50/50 by weight with water. I placed a wet paper towel over them to hydrate them. The ones on the bottom are doing good but they have the same spots on the ends of the eggs. But I will incubate them and see what happens.

Thanx
