Egg problems??

[nerk2486]

One of my girls finally laid her two eggs on Jan 31......but now they're turning brownish??? They're in a moist substrate in my incubator, but they're worrying me so much!!! These are my first eggs, so I may be freaking out. *^^;;;; Please let me know!!! It just looks as if the shell is turning brown, not fuzzy or anything gross like that.

Thanks!!

normally browning eggs means they are no good they could have been unfertile as you said they were your first. many things could go wrong are they too moist ?

I don't think they're too moist, but then again, I'm trying to go by what the books say. And it's weird, because it's just like the egg shell is turning brown, and not the whole thing, just marbled. It also seems to have stopped turning.

I have no clue. *^^;;;;;;;; I'm going to leave them in the incubator and maintain them until it's obvious they're not going to hatch.

are they browning or yellowing? Because i find when the eggs are kept in substrate they tend to yellow a bit compared to those in perlite or vermiculite.
