Birthday surprise!

[Raymo2477]

I was moving some leaf compost and found an egg! Then half an hour later I found three more!!

These new ones are larger than the ones I found a month ago, by about 40%. The older ones having been cooking for about three weeks...I think they maybe mostly duds as only one has a small ring near the top left side and something that looks like a pics a macaroni towards the bottom when I candled it.

When will I know to stop cooking the older eggs? Will they rot in the incubator or just dry up?

Any help appreciated!!

I can't really help you. All I can tell you is another member, N2TORT, Jeff, put some old eggs out into his garden, that he thought were never going to hatch, and the other day, he found a hatchling.

The five eggs in the center are the original ones. The other one is the one with the "thing" in it (hopefully a tort embryo!).
