These weren't buried? How many did she lay? Were they the first of the season for her? I just had a female Ibera lay top side today. I hope it is fertile but who knows.

Awesome. Did these hatch today? I too have a couple reds that hatched today that were laid on the ground. My thoughts were she was in her quarantine area and was still newish(about a month in my possession) so she didn't feel comfortable in her environment yet to dig and cover up. Yah never know.

She laid 2 eggs. I don't know which female laid them. I'm betting Blondie did because she is so no-nonsense when it comes to laying.

How long was it on the ground before you put it into the incubator?

Not more than 6 hours. In January, they are in the winter accomodations and get checked on 3-4 times per day.

Beautiful, just beautiful. No matter how many tort babies I see, I am amazed at each one and never get tired of looking at them.[/u]
