Abstract
This study was designed to evaluate the mycobiota of Eastern Bluebird eggshells and assess the abundance of keratinophilic fungi. Samples of fungi taken from Eastern Bluebird eggshells were subcultured for identification using macroscopic and microscopic characteristics. The occurrence of a significant number of keratinophilic fungi on Eastern Bluebird eggshells poses a potential threat to developing chicks.
