All the clutches I've had so far have been perfect and any slugs weren't attached to the pile so were easily removed. My spotted laid a week ago and one egg did have one vein through it so I thought I'd see what would happen but today when candled it was completely clear. This egg is now starting to go bad. On top of that, another egg which had a small spot to begin with has now grown over most the egg. When candled there's one distinct vein and ?embryo
My question is, I've read a lot of debate regarding removing bad eggs vs leaving them there. From what I've read, if an egg is good, it won't be affected by another bad egg in the clutch. Should I just wait and see what happens with the possible good egg? Should I let the infertile egg go bad which then becomes easier to remove from the pack? Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.
