Noses are poking out today. Kind of funny, I expected these guys a couple of days ago and I've been peeking several times a day to see nothing. I looked at them this morning... nothing.... a few hours later.... 5 pippies!
The good news is I already see one Phantom (maybe Hypo Pewter) in there which is a big relief to me. Last year they only gave me 4 eggs and none of the babies were Hypo. I knew that the clutch was way too small to throw in the towel but it's still reassuring to finally see one.
Good news: Most of these have hatched and look great. This clutch gave me my first ever Phantoms (not counting the Hypo Pewter I hatched last year), there are a few nice Pewters in there, and a lot of the Charcoals have some fun patterns.
Bad news: No Hypo Pewters
Well can't win them all. You guys will get another update when they shed, get sexed, and eat. If you were only on the list for Hypo Pewters, feel free to delete yourself so I don't bug ya when they are ready.
