Well, we have the first couple clutches in the incubator for the season now, and I'm getting ready for three more in the next week or so. Here's a few shots of the two proud mommies.
This is Goldfinger. She threw some killer lemons last year.
She had 9 eggs last year, all went full term. Here is this year's clutch a few days after being laid. There's one slug up front, and the other two going bad were roll-outs, so I was expecting them to go south. Since this pic was taken, the one in the back left has started to go bad too.I am still excited about this clutch though.
Mable (proud mom #2) has now laid three seasons back-to-back, 8,10, and now 9 eggs respectively. Best $500 I ever spent!She was bred to our albino this season.

After
Both moms are now feeding voraciously again, and I am getting excited for lil' pip-squeaks!!
Thanks for looking!
