I really dont know whats happening inside my Hermann eggs. Can any one tell me.? Something is growing inside them or is it just chalking. I cant see any veins. the rest of the egg looks quite clear/yellowy. she didnt attempt to bury them either. I have been incubating them at 31.5. egg 1 is 7 weeks and egg 2 is 5.5 weeks. Trying not to build my hopes up

Thanks Danny. I broke them open today and yes they were infertile. I lost my male in hibernation this year so was really hoping they might be. If she lays again is there a small chance they could be fertile as I know they can retain sperm or do you think the fact that these aren't fertile means I should give it up as a bad job !!!

Seeing as she surface laid and the fact she hasn't laid again, the chances are slim that she is still carrying sperm or will even lay any more eggs without a male around.
