Well, this clutch really couldn't have been more perfect. Nerissa gave me seven beautiful eggs with no slugs, and now they're pipping exactly on day 55. Not only that, but for the THIRD year I've had babies hatch on my brother's birthday (Aug 24th) - so there's something lucky about this date, lol. I'm also going out of town next weekend, so very relieved they didn't decide to be a week late!

I cut the eggs tonight after seeing the first pipper, and a few look like they're still coloring up... it's "just" a normal x pastel clutch, but it seems I've got at least three pretty pastels. Anyway, here's a sneak peek:

Purple pastel pipper


Cute normal nose




Pastels, or just not colored yet?
