Came home from school today to find silver eggs. Was thinking there may be a possible hatch tonight. 2 hours later, eggs were gone  . Oh well, better get a tumbler ready for next week, have 2 pairs breeding now, both have proven to eat eggs, 1 pair ate them on day 2, the other on day 4. Is it worth leaving them in again next time in case it was just a first time thing or tumble them?

If they make it past the third night, I would pull and tumble for a hatch since they would likely hatch the 4th night anyway. If they eat them earlier, I would give them time to sort things out first. I had about that ate the eggs early for quite some time, but the eggs never developed if I pulled them anyway. In that situation it's probably best to let them sort it out.
Congrats on the massive hatch!
