I still have 4 mutt white eggs going. Today is day 17. At least 3 of the 4 were moving when candled 3 days ago, but none were moving this morning, and one of them (one that was DEFINITELY moving before) now has a large weird greeny-yellowy area with fairly sharp boundaries.

I have a bad feeling about this -- is this what happens if a yolk sack ruptures late in development, or something? It is really distinctly different from the others.

Of course there is nothing I can *do* about any of it, but though I'd ask to try to find out more about what I'm seeing.

Thanks,

Pat
