Weird Snowflake bumps on eggs?

[zoeandaussie]

Hey guys, I have sort of a serious question. My eggs my female laid are fertile, but they have snowflake like bumps on them. Is it just sand from the lay bin that stained? They developed like a couple hours after she laid, and now they're a week old. The marks haven't grown, so that's good. I have no idea. Please help if you've had this trouble or know what it could be, thanks! I've had many successful clutches and this has never happened. :roll:

I think I remember mine having that too. I think they are just from the sand. We had 27 healthy babies hatch later.

I believe those are just calcium deposits .

Are the calcium deposits dangerous?

No, I've seen those on some of my eggs in the past like Novia also did. They just form that way as the eggs are turning from follicles in to shelled eggs as the calcium forms the egg shell.
