Hi All,

I went to check on the Eggs just now and found that the Booby Egg has a White Furry Mould Growth on it, I'm starting to panic, What could have caused this? Is there anything I need to do and if so what? Will this affect the other Eggs??

Your Help will be most gratefully appreciated,

Warmest Wishes,

John

I'd have thought it would be caused by water droplets on the egg from above

Get some athletes foot powder and have a bit of a sprinkle on the mould ;)

Eggs can get a bit manky towards the end so don't panic

Ok Guys been Candling the Eggs every 4-5 days now and am seeing movement in 4 of them but the 5th one, the Booby egg I cannot see any movement from the baby, however I can see what appears to be a vein Pulsing, is the egg still viable do you think? I should mention that this is the Egg that got white mould on the one end to which I have been applying Athletes Foot Powder as advised here.

Would be most grateful for any help/advice offered.

Warmest Wishes,

John

Some don't move that much in the eggs
I'd say leave it and until proven dead its alive and kicking

Does your white stuff look like mine in this linked picture ?
