Wow... sounds like she was impatient. Looks like you have a nest of wasted eggs on your hands.

Yea, no way the eggs are any good (unless the male jumped in the chimney to spawn then jumped out, hahahah). You just have unique female there I guess. Next time don't wait so long to release her. Personally I've found keeping the female in the chimney a long time doesn't do a thing, of course I've only had 4 spawns (2 of which he didn't fertilize properly and ended up eating all the eggs), but everytime I ended up releasing female after only a couple hours and the spawned just fine. Of course my females were well conditioned and had a belly full of eggs already when I put her in the chimney, if she's not full of eggs then keeping her in the chimney might be a good idea to get those eggs forming in her.

I believe Itty Bitty Betta (forum member, I see you're new) had a female who did that before. Astonishing...but yeah, it blew your spawn attempt

I would release her anyway (if she's still in the chimney), from what I understand a female betta always has eggs.
