She finally laid...

I am breathing a sigh of relief.. now if that last egg will pop out! It should make a clutch of seven.

Congrats :D Wish I could help you out on the question, but I have no idea. Hopefully someome in the know comes along quick or she hurries up for you.

Just wait until they are all out....she will take care of them until you get home from work, no big deal.

[They are all out now! 7 eggies. I popped them into the incubator, and she is out cruising her tub looking thin :)
I am worried because one egg has newspaper markings on it; the paper was folded up over them, I think that's how it happened. Is this a concern? I know that some people mark their eggs with pencil, so maybe it is no concern?

In tub: vermiculite and perlite mix.

:carrot:Congrats Jen!! Can't wait to see the next pics of those 7 beauties pippin:sunny:

Congratulations and best of luck with those eggs.

Sweeeeet! Those eggs look great :gj:

I have seen people take marker to write stuff on eggs, so that little bit of ink shouldn't be anything to worry about. (Anyone confirm that?)

Congrats :rockon: :carrot:

Congrats! Don't worry about the newsprint ink. I would be surprised if it was anything but vegetable based ink (all newspapers that I know of switched to this type years ago). Now comes the really hard part...waiting another 55 days!
