Does the egg look normal ? i mean the pip site? I will look again tomorrow. Other two show nothing and cant see anything on candling at all
To be honest when I bred torts, the norm was to pip at either end of the egg. But pipping anywhere could happen and it did. The hatchling has a pip on the end of the nose, which is used to push against the shell to help break out.
Its hard to see if the crack is ok as photobucket sign is over the crack. But from what I can see its normal.
