hatched out my 6th baby last night.

but while looking in the tub i noticed one of the eggs was a bit furry, like when things start to go mouldy .

this is the last egg to be put in , roughly a week old .

now is this because of temps/humidity in the tub or maybe some other factor from before it was put in there .

ive got 7 more eggs in there in various stages of development and all others look fine .

want to work out why one is furry so none of the others turn the same

thanks

That dud egg I got the other week went furry after a couple of days. Is it pure white the fur? I think it could just be an early sign of it being infertile?

yea white fur ,

so far though all the eggs laid previous have been ok , it even looked good when i found it , not deflated like the first infertile one

Is it in with any other good eggs? If so I would move it out on its own so that the fur doesnt spread and get on more eggs. And then just see what happens.

yea its still in the incubating box .

i moved it to the far end away from the others , will take it out when i get home and make an isolation tub see what happens from there.

i really just want to know if the temps/humidity might be causing it or it might just be a dud egg ?

If the others are fine and have been in there longer then I would probably assume that it's just a dud like Phils, which is bad luck but atleast the others will be ok hopefully! Cool

Have you got a photo of it? From the description it sounds like an infertile egg. When I bred Cresteds I found that towards the end of the breeding season the odd dud cropped up. Give it another few days and if it doesn't improve, chuck it. Sounds like you've had a good season with them. Very Happy
