oozing eggs

[wakeboarder]

I came home yesterday to find 2 of my eggs with a drop of clear fluid on the tops of them. It is only day 51. Is this normal? I wiped them both dry and one of them was wet again this morning. There was no condensation on the lid so it couldn't be that. I read that sometimes before hatching, eggs can ooze from poorly calcified areas of the egg. But I thought day 51 was a little early.

Any thoughts or suggestions is appreciated.

Thanks

Eggs "sweat" when the conditions are a bit too damp, which looks like drops of water. But if it's thick and gooey it means the eggs are hatching usually.

sweaty eggs

I've had eggs sweat weeks before hatching, and they all hatched normally. would'nt worry unless they discolor

When eggs start to sweat (not just a small drop or two, but really sweat), it usually means they contain a dead embryo. The more they are sweating, the more likely it is that the embryo is dead.

They may contain a dead embryo, but I would'nt give up till your certain theyr'e dead. Hope they are not though!

after wiping them the second time, none of them have had a drop since. It is now day 58. I'm keeping the hopes high.
