Default Herman eggs question

They are in the incubator, but I've got them in an egg box with a bit of tissue, cos I didn't have any vermiculite , will this be ok. I do know of people who have done it this way succesfuly. Also one had a big white patch on it when it was laid, this is getting bigger not sure if it's chalking or an air bubble, does this matter. Thanks

I'm going to say 2 3 and 5 but you never know the others might be ok.
Suze next time put the torch at the side of the egg and shine through it .xx

If you get some new vermiculite you could always move them as long as they are not turned also will probably help with humidity as the cardboard will suck any moisture up very quickly.
