I was curious what the darker spot on the top egg was? It was like this since they were laid. I read about calcium deficiencies in the mother, but those spots looked smaller?
If it was more than one egg I would have more worry about calcium issues in mom.
To me, it looks more like what happens when water may be dripping onto the eggs. But if they were laid this way, windowing like this could happen. It could be the last egg was tough for her to lay and it was adhered a bit to the oviduct on that side.

I had a small spot that was similar to this one in my first BP clutch but didn’t cover as much of the egg.
I’m thinking its an egg window (undercalcification of the egg shell) especially seeing that it looks thinner by the way its wrinkling.

Thank you, it was definitely laid that way, although the spot was less pronounced. Ill keep an eye on them, but so far so good
