Not every clutch works.



Clutch number one yesterday was from my ghost. She was bred to her dad (a very clean anery het hypo). She gave me six large, nice looking eggs. So, I'd expect some nice clean ghosts from this clutch and anerys het for hypo. This is her first year breeding.



Clutch number two was a major disappointment. My snow possible het hypo slugged out with seven large infertile eggs. She was bred to the same anery het hypo male in the hopes of getting ghosts het for albino. I'll feed her heavy and try her again later this summer.



This was my first bad clutch of thr season. Three more hondos in their egg boxes now and should lay within the next week or so. A couple stragglers behind them and my black milks are a mystery this year. I think one of my black milk females is in pre-egg lay shed - otherwise they have just been eating and breeding machines but are more than a month behind last year's laying schedule. Oh well.



Pictured below are the two females mentioned above.
