Another week come and gone. We made an adjustment to our incubator temps. We had been incubating at 88 degrees this year, and still cutting our eggs at day 50-52. Well the eggs aren’t hatching until day 62 or so, and I think the babies were being exposed too long, and it was causing problems. We increased the temps back to 89 degrees, and we will see how that works. We did cut our clutch from Mystic to Pastel, and it looks like it will be exciting. That is all I will say for now. Check back early next week, and we should have some pics up.

Lastly, we got another one of our most exciting clutches this morning. I opened tubs this morning to find our Sterling female sitting on eggs. She bred our Pied male, so this clutch only has two outcomes. Pastel Het Pieds or Pewter Het Pieds. Here’s to a pile of Pewters. I was also surprised by the fact that she was sitting on 7 eggs. I palpated her numerous times throughout the season and only ever felt 5 follicles. The strange thing is out of 7 eggs, we still only have five, as 2 of them are infertile. They are still in the incubator, but I bet they’ll be dead in a week or two. Enjoy the pic below.
