I checked my eggs this morning, they have been incubating for 71 days now, to find that they were sweating. As they are my first clutch I am a little anxious as to what to expect or do, especially after reading a lot of bad stories of eggs sweating and babies dying in their eggs. One is sweating more than the other and the humidity in the tub has gone mad. The eggs are white and lovely and chubby, although the one that's sweating worse seems a little smaller now.

Any advice would be great. Thanx.

I wouldn't worry too much. I've had some eggs hatch 7 days apart from each other.

Well they're still sweating and no sign of them hatching. Just candled them again now and they look rather yellow. (Although i'm not too good at candling) They have also shrunk in size now with all the sweating. Just don't know what to think. Just hope I have better luck with my other 4 eggs that have been in the incubator for 14 days. Three definately look fertile with veins. Bit gutted bout these 2 thou, especially after going so long!!
