Hi again guys n gals I have just candled my eggs and at least 2 of have begun to develop what looks like a chalky whit air bubble at the top.
Is this good news.
A couple of the eggs are covered in soil as when she laid one she broke it so the eggs that followed got covered in gunk (yolk etc) and the soil stuck to them. I wonder if it is feasible/ possible to gently wipe them clean as I cant candle them. An advice would be wonderful
Thanks
