After a 4 month wait.....

[Chucky]

Sometimes you almost forget and then this happens...

There are 6 more left from Einstina's 1st clutch this year but 2 of them do not look too good but the other 4 look great! Oh, these are redfoot eggs.

Taken August 1, 2012

That is great. You will have to post pictures when they are all out of the eggs. Congratulations!

Very nice, Ive got some redfoot eggs also with an August date. Just waiting

Just seen another egg with a hairline crack so it should be along much more by tomorrow morning.

I still have 10 more eggs from 2 other clutches due in January and March too.

Just an update, the first egg is moving around a bit and the second egg has cracked half way around the shell and is moving so any time now I expect to see something. Isn't the anticipation ruthless?

Congrats! Fingers crossed!

OK, here is another update and we have color! This is not the first egg that pipped but the second one later the same day. This is the egg that is closest to the thermometer in the previous pics.

Stay tuned!!! There's more to come!

WoW!!!! Hatchlings what fun!!!! Good job

Egg #2, the first egg I posted is getting restless. He is poking his head and feet out every now and then!

 

[lovelyrosepetal]

That is really "eggs-citing"! I was going to put exciting but I just couldn't help myself. So much fun for you and I had no idea how long the wait could be. Keep us tuned with lots of pictures.

 

[Chucky]

I understand completely and you probably must know how eggs-ilerating it must be for me after waiting soooooo long.

BTW, I have now moved 4 of the eggs from the incubator to the hatching chamber with all 4 eggs ready to hatch. There is still 1 more good looking egg in the incubator and I expect it to pip at any time. I'm really happy that 5 out of 7 were good this year in the first clutch.

Sorry everyone, these guys are taking their good old time. I think they are enjoying the fresh air and just sitting there for now. I do have a total of 5 now that have pipped and just waiting. I'll post some more pics as soon as there's something to take a pic of.
