I finally got home this evening, and had to survey the clutch. Here is a pic of the clutch when I pulled it out of the incubator.
Here is a close-up of the first "pipper". Upon initial inspection I thought it was a Mojave. You tell me!
Lastly, I'll put up the pic of the entire clutch after cutting the eggs. First I would like to congratulate myself, since I accomplished my goal with this clutch. I wanted to hatch my first clutch of eggs this year that was sired by 3 males. That goal was accomplished, and we MIGHT have even hit on 4 sires. There was a bit of sadness in the clutch. If you look closely at the egg in the top right corner, it is a dead Cinnamon in the egg. It appears to have died somewhere around day 2-45 by my estimates. The rest of the clutch count is as follows:
1 Mojave
1 Cinnamon
1 Sable
2 Appear to be Normal
1 That might be a Sulpher or a Normal. (We have to wait for this one to crawl out).
We will be watching the clutch like a hawk, to see who emerges first. I have a feeling that it will be at least Friday before we can announce a winner. More pics will follow.
Thanks again for playing and for the excitement you guys have brought to us. I think we might do this every year. It's been too much fun not to.
