clutch #2 is sad
so clutch number two is all messed up... but the other two clutches are fine no deformities that I can see yet - sooo not incubation temp? so is this a fluke- or does one of the parents have bad genes, or something else I am not thinking of?
so far
clutch #1- all hatched - 4 normals all healthy
clutch #2-
(hatched) one with kink tail tip,
(hatched)one with kink tail tip and a bit of umbilical cord attached- think it will be fine,
(kind of hatched) one with kink tail and out of its egg with lots of yolk left still attached the size of a nickel in circumference
one severely deformed- kinks everywhere, misshapen head, miss placed eyes, umbilical cord wrapped around its head/neck- won't live
one that looks fine from what i can see- except the very tip of the tail is stubbed.
clutch #3 - in a separate incubator- all still in eggs but piped and all look healthy from what parts I can see.
so. I am pretty bummed about the kinks and the really deformed one.
What would everyone do in this case? not breed either of the parents again?
what's the best way to put the really deformed one out of it's misery?
