    Crusty bits?!?

    WITH PICTURES So I popped my eggs from ebay (mixed bantams) into my incubator late last night having waited for them to settle. They looked okay, no cracks. But after a few mins the larger of the bantam eggs started sweating. I assumed that I'd put them in too cold as it was late at night and...
