Ups and downs of a 1st time breeder

The three picks are of my first ever successful breeding season! The first "Makeda"(green pastel) laid on 6/29 followed by "Anaksunamun"(lesser) on 7/20(both on Sunday's...lol) and today my last female to lay was "Nefertiti"(pastel).[IMG]http://i1153.photobucket.com/albums/...ps95a9cc70.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i1153.photobucket.com/albums/...pse56eebfd.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i1153.photobucket.com/albums/...ps83d665a8.jpg[/IMG]

Beautiful congrats!!

Makeda laid 8 and 4 were fertile; Anaksunamun laid 8 and all were fertile; Nefertiti laid 5 and all were fertile..

The sad part is due to me not separating the good eggs from the bad only one of Makeda's eggs made it....today was the 55 day and since all four fertile eggs look bad and since ironically Nefertiti had her eggs on her due date (today) I cut Makeda's four and out of the four one was alive.

The next due date is for Anaksunamun clutch(lesser who's sir was a Mojave)........9/13 will be the 55th day so I'll keep the "noir" going for now...LOL...I'm hopeful that by correcting my rookie mistake and separating the clutch right away(taking before pic's for exact arrangement) and putting them in the egg box just like I pulled them apart will work. Her 8 eggs all look huge and beautiful. 2;8 ratio for bel's......!!!!!Keep you'll posted with pick's in the next coming weeks!!!

I wish You the best, on the remaining clutches. Keep us posted.

Been, there, experienced that. Good luck with the remaining clutches.

Digging the names!
Wishing you luck on the rest of your season :)

Good luck with the rest :D

WHO NEEDS LOTTO NUMBERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LOL

So guys and gals my second clutch (Anaksunamun's the second pic at the top 9-18-14,) pipped today on the 57th day and I cut the rest!!!!!! :D

This was my most anticipated clutch of the year as I paired Dame(lesser platinum) with two Sires(Mojave and Spider) and got a DOUBLE SIRED CLUTCH!!!! With awesome odds........2 Mojave's, 2 BEL's, and 1 lesser for sure. The other three are lesser bees from what I can see!!!!!!! My wife took video, and after watching it you can't see much so as soon as these little guys come all the way out I'll be sending another update with pics!!!!!

Thanks for staying tune!!!!!!!
