Pictures of eggs hatching right under mom!

I have three heads out of their eggs, but they pull back when I start taking pictures. Here's what I got while they were still out:

Can't wait until they come out!

Now that is a good couple of pictures there. :bow:

The mom looks really nice and calm as well - is she?

And what was the pairing?

Thank you! Mom is great, very calm and gentle. I'm so happy I went the MI route. She's Pied and dad's Clown het Pied.

Too cool. Congrats.

This is his first clutch, but he's certified by TSK. His sire was a full Pied/Clown.

Interesting info. I thought all BP's were calm like she is. Although she was none too happy when I would take her off her eggs. She would give me the eye! :tears:

He/she I should say :p

Congratulations!!

I think it's awesome you let mom incubate. I think far too often, the idea is perpetuated that the female cannot incubate her eggs, that something horrible will happen if you try it. We need more people who take the initiative and let nature take it's course. Sure there are valid reasons to artificially incubate, but there are also valid reasons to let mom incubate.

Very lovely clutch, you should be very proud.

Are you pulling the hatchlings as soon as they're out of the egg? Very gorgeous pied babies, and 3/3 so far is awesome odds! Can't wait until I get to see moms on hatchlings sometime hopefully soon!

Thanks! Yes, it's still a he/she. I tried to pop it but no go. The other two I'm pretty sure are female. I'll be taking them to some friends for popping help. Can't wait until I'm more experienced with everything.

Thanks Gale,
I really wanted to do it this way from the beginning, but so many people said it could not or should not be done. I was so happy when Quiet Tempest wrote about Maternal Incubation. It gave me the courage to do it the way I really wanted to. Watching MI has been a magical experience.

Yes, I've been very lucky! It makes up for the three eggs lost. Two weren't fertile (should have put them together more often I think). One had a deformity and died in the egg. I am pulling them as soon as they crawl out of the egg, which takes much longer than I thought it would. I would leave them with their mom longer, but I worry about her hurting them accidentally. They're so tiny and fragile.

very cool pictures. that's something you don't see too often. thanks for sharing! :D

Thanks and you're welcome. I'm thinking we might see more people trying out maternal incubation in the future.

What awesome pictures! Can't wait to see them completely!

Their faces are so sweet. Big congrats :)

Very cool thanks for sharing.:gj:

It's definitely a rewarding experience. I'm sorry about the losses but those three pieds are beautiful. I especially like #3 with that smirk smiley. :)

Wow!! Great pics and awesome new little ones !

Thanks everyone! :) Yes, it's a wonderful experience. My incubator will stay in the closet for emergencies only because I love watching mom on her nest so much. I've got one more on her nest and another one ready to lay any day now. The fun's not over yet!

Wow, that is amazing!
