So, I unfortunately have a few additions to make to this thread.
I have 2 babies that are deformed. They are both from my first clutch ever. It was my super pastel and my lesser bred to a normal. It was a 12 egg clutch, with one boob egg. I have 10 beautiful healthy babies to be proud of!
I incubated at 89, and I had humidity issues in the beginning of incubation but that was quickly fixed. There were no known temperature spikes or drops.
Unsexed Pastel - this is the deformed baby that was in the boob egg. This baby died in the egg around day 55-57 It is severely kinked and fused. This was the only pastel in the clutch.
The rest of the clutch was out of the egg. The one remaining egg had not pipped, and the baby was very active. I peeked in the little flap and saw it was missing an eye and the jaw looked a little "off" so I cut a bigger hole at the top of the egg.
This baby is a normal, so a different father than the pastel from the boob egg, and I won't know more until it is out of the egg. This egg was almost completely vertical, so I am wondering if the face became deformed when it had to developed pressed up against the rest of the body....
Well, it only has one MASSIVE eye, and its face is deformed and twisted kind of to the side. I will let the pictures speak for themselves.
