Question: Two toned eggs

[vladimere]

I've had axies before and had them lay there eggs but out of this lot i have eggs that instead of being one uniformed color the embryo is half white and half black the mother is white and the father is a black axie seeing i have never seen this before i was wandering if it was normal and if so what can i expect these eggs to produce after hatching ?(trying to get a clear pic to upload )

Its absolutely fine.
But there is no way of telling what they are til they are hatching and sometimes even a few weeks after that.
Good luck

My eggs were all the same color (solid brown), but once the babies hatched, I had every color, except melanoid!

Two-toned eggs are very normal. At a certain point in embryo development (the blastula) the egg divides into an animal pole and a vegetal pole which are white and black.
