Eggs that appear to have developed without a mate

[casportpony]

I don't know about Swans but turkeys can do parthenogenesis. Even under the best of conditions there is still only 1% that actually hatch. The vast majority of eggs that start developing because of parthenogenesis will quit developing before they reach full maturity.

It is possible to have an egg show a dark interior without development. When an egg is going rotten it can be very dark on the inside.

Facinating, I did not know this was possible!

I can't wait to learn what you found when you opened the eggs! I have always been so afraid to give up on eggs when they didn't hatch! >//<

All,

I can confirm that each egg was rotten and contained nothing but mung. I placed each one at the bottom of the garden waste wheelie bin and prodded with a long pole. Each popped with the built up pressure and my bin now is on the leader board for the smelliest things on the planet.

Thanks the responses.

Thanks for the update.

Good luck on getting rid of the smell.
