Hey TFO,

After checking on the eggs, I noticed one had cracked and gone rotten and it smelt... well, like a rotten egg. So I thought I'd give candling a go to see if I should keep the eggs incubating and took some pics. Not sure if I've done this correctly seeing as I used the little light on my phone to do the candling. Let me know what you think!

Laid on 5th of Feb - I think this one is/was fertile, but it's also the oldest egg so maybe it's stopped developing seeing as it's been about 3 months since it was laid.

After having a browse of the forum and looking at other candled eggs, i'm thinking only the first one is fertile? does anyone more experienced have any input? should i keep them all in the incubator eventhough they're not fertile? thanks :)

Wow that's amazing. Lookin' good. Keep them all of course. I know star eggs from what I have researched are similar to leo eggs and I find it interesting how some of the eggs just take longer than others, even twice as long and they are in the same incubator, laid at the same time.

Sometimes we candle and they don't look like anything, but sure enough, they hatch.
