Yup. They start out all cute and small, but I swear the are at least double the size when the little boogers hatch. :yes:

Christie, thank you for calling me today and talking me through it, you're the best!

PS, Karl said to ask Russ - where are his pictures? :P

You're very welcome.

As for Karl... I'm still mad at him for not coming to lunch with us. *pout* So no pictures for him. :P

Actually you guys are closer to Russ than I am. He's in Atlanta for the NHL AllStars game this weekend. I swear he sounded like a kid in a candy store, which scares the everyloving wits out of me!!! :O

I love me some baby livards.:taz::rolleye2::taz:

Karl wants to know how he can make it up to you Christie!

Here you go Christie!

BTW, why haven't they hatched yet? :rolleye2:

Wow she passed two eggs AND a quarter! Pretty cool! :rolleye2: :P

wooooot! :w00t: they look excellent robin! i've been out skiing all day, but i can't check my voicemail here anyhow (no t-mobile service!).

i can't believe she layed again after all this time--i'll have to check my records when i get home but i think her last clutch was a month or two before thanksgiving. the girls she was living with before are all being silly and still laying even though they've been separated from their males for 4+ months and are even being cooled. you just never know what they're gonna do!

the babies will be siblings to daytona. she may lay a few more clutches too, we'll just have to wait and see. generally they lay every 3.5-4.5 weeks. i'm sure you'll be a good egg mom robin. the good news is that this call for an excuse for us to get together... :D

Excellent reason to get together! So....if she lays another clutch in four weeks, do I just put them in the same container with these eggs?

aweeee thats sooo cute! they are surprisingly larger than i expected! wow

yep--just mark the eggs with a pencil or a sharpie marker (that's what i use) so that you know which are which (i just use numbers). it will probably be obvious by size, but i'd mark them anyhow just in case. :)
