This is a pic of Kyriel, my het pied. She's starting to glow and has been staying coiled in the cool side of their tub so I'm hopeful that she'll be ovulating soon. I palpated her and her follicles are huge now. They feel very much like eggs already and if she wasn't sticking to the cool side and still locking fairly regularly with the het pied male, I'd say I'd missed her ovulation. I tried to get a decent shot of her bulge, but she just refuses to cooperate. You may just have to take my word for it.
I also got a couple more shots of the girls already incubating their clutches.
Ailynn.. just 8 days brooding
Dewshine.. 11 days brooding
I have candled both of these clutches but no pics because I only have so many hands and the mothers aren't particularly fond of having me bothering them or their eggs right now. Both clutches have big healthy veins and I don't anticipate having any problems. I'm happy with the two clutches already on the ground but I'm excited about the clutch the het pieds should give me. I've been wanting a pied of my own for a long time now.![]()
