I am so happy right now! This girl didn't lay until day 36 and I was about to die with anticipation. She is a 2007 hatch and this was her first year laying. To say I am pleased with the results would be an understatement. Come on male pewter!!

First came love:


Then came ovulation:


Then came seemingly endless waiting:


Finally, Finally, a great mommy sitting on her eggs!


How many is that? Seven? Really!!?


All candled healthy, and are secure in the bator so mom can get some rest!


She was 1859 before laying the clutch, and the seven eggs were 557 grams. So overall they are a bit on the small side, but still looked very healthy!
