    My First Babies are Dinkers
    Well I have good news, its Day 53/54:P and babies are pipping:banana:.That sounds actually kinda early to me as I thought eggs don't usually pip till 57/58 but the babies look ok.
    I'll admit I caved in on day 50:oops:, and cut a couple eggs cause they were very very dimpled and it had me worried that the babies wouldn't have space.
    The egg that got busted open a bit on day 45 also stuck his head out today, though his egg is a bit more gunky everybody looks fine, theres still 3 eggs I haven't cut yet.
    So far it looks like the daddy dinker is proving out.:D The babies have blushed heads like mom and pop tho.Also please excuse the pics, This is pretty much a basic point and shoot camera that is also like 5 years outdated.:rolleyes:

    Here is the one thats been open since day 45. I'm probably going to name popper if its a boy or mary poppins if its a girl.:P I can see its got the squiggles on it like the dad.

    Another one that looks like it also has the squiggles.

    This one looks like its going to be a normal, but it's still got blushing on its head.

    Another normal, this one I'm a bit concerned about as I haven seen his head he isn't facing upward yet, but definitely still alive.

    And the final egg for now, there still 4 more not shown or pipped yet.So far there does look to be a distinguishable color difference between the babies, the normals so far look like normals and the dinker babies don't have much yellow in their color, but since colors are the last thing to come in fully on a baby, I'll we waiting to see when they crawl out.More pic to come

    Here are the other 3, seems a couple were pretty eager to meet me at the entrance:P
    I'm really excited to see how they color up, cause both parents were dinkers. Mom was my CH burgundy, and dad was my WC blackback.

    90% or more of our clutches have pipped by day 54.
    Good luck with the babies :gj:

    I wish I had a light tent, he really had no incentive to sit still for more than 5 seconds:P.I might be able to get better pics later.

    And heres mom, I would take a fresh pic of her but shes in shed right now, she should be out of it by time the babies shed.This pic was before ovulation and has a lot of her glow, but it still captures her color.
