I thought I'd would share a few pics of our first attempt at maternal incubation. This is our fourth season to produce eggs, but we've always used artificial incubation. I wanted to get some firsthand experience with this method. So far, things are looking good. There are at least 3 babies with their heads out and at least one other egg has several slits in it. It looks like we may get 100% hatch rate.

Sorry for the poor quality of the pics. I didn't want to disturb mom and the babies any more than necessary to get a few shots.

Thanks for looking.
