    Weird stuff on my egg

    While collecting eggs, I found this egg that has a weird abundance of bug egg(?) looking stuff on it. The egg was rotten anyways so I didn’t mind throwing it away but it was pretty gross. Just out of curiosity, anyone know what it is? Image below (it’s kinda nasty)

    Rotten Egg?

    Hi! I’m incubating my first batch of eggs with 6 successful hatches so far. This just happened to one of the eggs. Can you advise me if it’s a rotten egg that needs to be thrown out? The membrane is still there but I want to catch it before it explodes if it is rotten. Thanks!
