One bad egg, one good egg

Hey all! I asked this question on fb but only got a couple of responses, so I am curious what you seasoned breeders think.

I have a pair of attached chewie eggs where one has gone bad and molded significantly. Previously I have had it where an infertile egg is attached to a fertile eggs, but it's never gotten really moldy like this one. Is it better to try to cut the bad egg off, or will leaving it attached not affect the good egg apart from being unsightly? The offending pair of eggs has been temporarily moved to a separate container for now.

In my experience, the moldy egg should become pretty wet and decompose a bit, making it easy to pull off the healthy egg. If it doesn't pull apart easily, I would cut it off indeed

I remove clearly infertile eggs from the good egg. A razorblade makes easy work to remove it

I generally leave the bad egg attached to the good egg, although I don't see any reason not remove it from the good egg as long as your careful not to jostle/disturb the good egg too much.

Thanks, all! I used an Xacto with great success!
