Black Pastel Pied x Pixel Pied Eggs are here!

I got home today around lunch time and although she hadn't really looked in the mood to lay today I checked in on Nibiru and she was all coiled up around her new clutch! Five *big* healthy looking eggs with nice strong veins. I really thought there were more in her than that, but she looks like a deflated tire so I'm confident they are all here. I'm so thrilled! Now for the sixty day wait! They are due in the area of September 11th so they will all be getting patriotic names.

I'm so excited! I've been waiting for this for six years and after losing her first clutch last year this one means all that much more to me. Wish me luck! This is my one and only clutch for the year, but next year I hope to have another female or two ready to pair up with him as well.

Here she is...now I can finally move her to a clean bin, I've left the urate because I haven't wanted to disturb her this past week.

Four all stuck together with one stuck to the top of the heap (already that one is my fav) all settled in the incubator...now to resist checking in on them ever five minutes!

Here's a shot of daddy (Manhattan) the unofficially named 'Pixel Pied'. I know he has thrown speckle patterned pieds for his last owner but no one has really taken the time to figure out what's going on with him, it will be interesting to see what if any reaction his genes have to the black pastel and I would be over the moon to get a black pastel pied female that has his awesome digital pattern on her:

Yayyyyyy! Nibiru pulled off the big one! Grats pl. I bet you get that black pastel pied you want. Nice work.

Nibiru says she deserves all the credit for the 'work'...and she's right. Heehee.

Thank you!

Thank you all! My list of people who are interested in one of these guys is more than the number of eggs ;)

I'm excited for this clutch too ! Wish you luck !

Is it time for them to hatch yet? No? ...how about now?
