Hi jan
Yes they are in the incubator. They look like they have a dark patch at the top when torched.

If this is the first time for incubating, whatever happens is a learning curve:0)
I never used to candle mine until at least three weeks in.
When they are laid they have a pinkish tinge to the egg, if they are fertile they turn a chalky white, roughly a month after they are laid is a good time to really look:0)
Great to hear my hatchlings are now laying eggs for you:0)

Hi sandy

Hope your well.
Yes it’s the first time for incubating.
They did have a pink tinge to them, which has gone now.

I was getting ready to look for a new baby this year for my granddaughter now she is old enough for her own 1. So we will see what happens now. Our own baby would be a bonus and what an experience for a 6 yr old.
She is aware that it may not happen.

Eggs are from Peanut.

She could lay again, roughly a month after the first lay of eggs.
Where did she lay the eggs?
