This was my first attempt at breeding last season and I made the newb mistake of confusing building with ovulation so since it was so late in the season I had gave up on this girl but then I saw ovulation and like everyone says once you see it for the first time you cant mistake it. I raised the female from a hatchling so its been a long wait until this point and the piebald mutation is what got me into this hobby. I was so proud of her laying 7 eggs her first time and they all candled even 2 boob eggs. I built a incubator out of a mini fridge and was alittle concerned through out the process but it did great and they started to hatch on day 57. anyhow enough talk here are some pics from start to finish. I still cant believe these results
