Another egg question.....

[mary]

hi again,
just wondering what other people have done about eggs that aren't growing- several in a cluster are doing nothing while the others are starting to move and look like miniature sharks! is it bad to leave the others in there- i am not sure how i would remove them without disturbing the healthy ones....

Mary, those are the infertile ones. If you can remove them without disturbing the others, go ahead. They may start to get moldy (fuzzy), but if they're not spreading to the healthy ones, I wouldn't worry if you can't get them out.

i wondered about separating them by cutting with scissors....

I would just leave them if they're not causing any harm. If you really feel the need, just be sure you're not damaging the healthy, developing eggs.
