Re: fungus on eggs

[Dale Deck <deck at ptcnet_net>]

There seems to be  a lot of talk on the necessity of using acriflavin. 
Has anyone ever proven that it is of any value in the retardation of
fundus on eggs. I have proven to my own satisfaction that it is not
needed. 

I have had eggs that fungus when none was used and also when acriflavin
was added to the water, and suddenly the eggs would not fungus. I seldom
use it and only do in desperation when the eggs keep on getting fungus.
I have had much better success with using damp peat and incubating the
eggs on it, there may be some that fungus but they probably are infertile
from the beginning.

I would think anyone that has treated water from the tap could use
that to inhibit the fungus and by the time the eggs hatch the water
would be aged enough and the chlorne would be gone. I have not tested
this as I have my own well water.

I would like to know if anyone has done side by side with acriflavin
and sterile water. So many times we do things because we were started
doing things that way and we just keep on doing them. I know that I 
have, and probably will continue to do so.
