Egg color

[Nina Willis]

I just purchased 33 golden albino X mel eggs, which arrived today. All are about half developed and completely white. I am curious, did I just get all golden albinos, or will some change color as they develop? I know the eggs start off white for albinos, but I was not sure how long the embryo stays that way.
Thanks,
Nina

They'll be all white until a few days before they hatch, colour will develop more in the hatchlings' first week or two.

Thanks! I've rased eggs before but never albino. It should be fun to see how they develop.
