Ugly eggs

[SSimsswiSS]

I think it was a wiseman in Vegas who once started a thread "never throw away a ugly egg". I've kept that advise. He's into reptiles with outer shells now. Here's some pictures of a egg that got a red blood clot looking thing that oozed out the side of the egg a few weeks back. I decided to open up the egg tonight after seeing enough slitting at one end of egg. So had to carefully cut down the back of egg, to remove baby from egg. Appearently baby put foot through the egg, and this was what was happening at the side of egg. Baby made it out okay, and other than looking a little thin, looks good.
