Finally paid off.

I bought a pair of het lavenders in 2005. The female laid for me in 07. 5 slugs and one good egg. The good egg ended up being a poss het male. In 08 she laid nothing. This year I was able to get three of the male hets offspring from normal females to go. So far it looks like only one of the three poss hets proved out but I'll take it. I also finally got 7 good eggs from the 100% het female that were just laid a week ago so I may get lucky and get another one or two. If I had to do it over again I probably would have just bought the male het and saved myself quite a few thousand dollars but I'll take it. Now I am just hoping it ends up being a male. Pretty excited to see what this it looks like when it finally decides to come out.

Congrats!!! Someday I hope to get into Lavs. Good luck with the rest.

I was definitely sweating it this year. I kept candling eggs and kept seeing black on all 15 eggs that were far enough along to see color aside from this one. I still wouldn't let myself believe there was actually a LA in there until I cut the egg. Now I just need to produce about a dozen more and I may actually break even on this project. :D

Congrats man I wish I could get me a few lavs!

Congratulations John! You're making me very excited about my poss het clown girls now! And now I have to figure out what who I want to put my het lav male with to make poss hets!

Can't wait to see HIM out of the egg!!!

I bet words could not explain how thrilled you were to see that beauty come out .Congragulations it never gets old seeing all these babies.:D:banana::banana::banana:
