It was high time I did an update on these things.

Well, my first eggs didn't do too well. A week after hatch day, I did an eggtopsy, since none hatched. There was one fully developed embryo that died shortly before hatching (I'd say less than 2 days), one or two more that developed a tad, and the rest appeared to be messed up during shipping/infertile, as there was only yolk. Yolk can be a VERY strange substance if you leave it an incubator for 3.5 weeks...

Anyway, on Wednesday, I ordered some more from the same seller. I usually stalk ebay and find exactly where whatever it is I bought is, but this time, I barely got a chance to spy, as I received it just today (and I was a bit busy the past few days anyway).

So now I'm letting my second clutch set for a full day. I'll put them in the bator tomorrow.

Oh, by the way, I got 4 extras, making a total of 16 eggs. However, one was cracked, so I poured out its contents. It appeared to be fertile. Also, the inside of the egg was blue :D


Anyway, photos of the eggs/my incubator/eggtopsy/cracked eggs to come.
