Why bother them?

Moving things around will only stress the mother and possibly cause her to eat the eggs...

Eggs are white'ish pink when laid... turn pinkish-tan when fertilized... and darken up as they mature...

Un fertilized eggs turn white... fungused eggs turn white and look puffy. It is common for a few of the eggs in a healthy clutch to get fungus...

Crushed flakes is an acceptible form of food...
