5 Out of 7 eggs turned out well but with 4 of the 5 hatched on Mothers day, 2 are hunchbacked.
Damn.
One actually has a 1/2" long knob about an inch back from its head but is ok otherwise while the other has a pronounced crick in its neck. These are twice the size ( 10-11" )of the other 2 babies that hatched with them and the smaller ones are normal.
I have one johnny come lately still piping. it had a tiny start of a slit in the egg shell around 8pm tonight and should be out by morning. I hope that ones ok.
I'm not going to put the cripples down and will do what I can to raise them into healthy animals but I would have prefered them to be something somebody would want for a pet. Maybe somebody will want them anyway and name them Quasimoto or Igore or something to that effect.
Mike.
