Dr. Sharpe Do you know why an egg(s) will fail. Is it possible that there is still a trace of the DDT still around the island or could it just not firm enough to survive. Tina |

I think the question that posted ahead of yours with the subject "Premature laying" might give you at least part of the answer you're looking for. |

Eggs fail for many reasons. They can be infertile, but that wouldn't generally cause the egg to break for weeks. They can have poor egg shells because of contaminants or just a failure in the process to make the egg shell. Many probably fail because the eagles are walking around them with 4 sharp talons on each foot and accidentally puncture the eggs, especially when it is dark and they can't see them. |
