Thanks everyone, I hate to lose them as much as anyone, but I'm okay.

Can't believe he was so close!

Can you explain what we are seeing in the photos? So we can identify it should this ever occur during one of our own hatches?

I have to go get hay, but when I get back I'll add some text to each picture.

Wow he's a real mess, looks like he was sticky too.

Good lord I can only imagine, was the shell dirty??

Oh Kathy - how sad. I am so sorry! How does an egg get a yolk sac infection? I imagine because the eggshell is porous. Makes me VERY nervous since the eggs Zippy is laying now are the dirtiest things I have ever seen!
