I always wait at least a week (if not more) after the eggs should have hatched before tossing them. I can't always be positive when they started incubating, rather than just going in and out of the nest.

the is only an air sack and some yellow part.I only managed to check two eggs, and they both had no veins. As I mentioned, there was this yellow stuff in one and the other one had a dark substance, almost brown in color. Is that infertile too?Sally wrote: I would say then that the eggs are infertile. Infertile eggs will have a large air sack at one end and the yellow yolk that you see. At this point, I would toss them.
