I have a few eggs that have turned moldy in the incubator. My question is, when can you tell a moldy egg is dead? I am keeping them, but I don't want ot be waiting forever if they have no chance. Thanks.

I dont know anything about breeding and incubating, but I was just reading not to mist eggs. Also there is something called candling to see if the egg is fertile. You hold a candle or flashlight up to an egg to see if there is something inside of it. If you see a cheerio shape there is something in there and the cheerio side goes face up. If there is no cheerio then it is dead/infertile. Hope this helps.
