very interesting.. hopefully someone with more experience will have some info.
have you tried to candle any of them? to get an idea of whats going on in there?

That's fine, all of my clutches have done it. In my case, it always signals that you're towards the end because the eggs are growing and stretching more dramatically.

I've not seen that particular pattern before, but I've seen a lot of cross hatched patterns. They have never been a problem.

I haven't candled them because I have seen the eggs growing so I assumed they are fertile. This is my first clutch so I hope everything goes well.

They look fine. The only thing you need to do is start getting your small foods together and caging ready.

I think the eggs are doing that from lower temps.
I played around with veiled eggs awhile back and the ones in lower temps did weird stuff. They took longer to hatch, the eggs looked weird, and the babies still had a lot of yolk attached.
The warmer eggs hatched a lot huger, hatched a whole lot quicker, the babies looked healthier, almost no yolk.
The eggs where all from the same clutch.
That's just my opinion.
I would try warmer temps of 75 or so and see how that goes.

What temps are you at??

I was at 70 degrees, I started another post cuz I candled the eggs and didn't see anything, please take look its under "incubating for 9 months"
