2006 indigo eggs!

robert seib Feb 04, 2006 12:22 PM

Lucky me! I just looked into a lay box and found a nice 99 female eastern indigo with 9 good eggs and an infertile slug.

I have a couple of other females who are also gravid and in their lay boxes. These are totally unrelated from my original line and I am happy to be able to provide unrelated pairs this year.

I am going to have both red and black phases in about equal numbers.

After having had a couple of rather poor years, the indigo Gods have smiled upon me.

You can see photos of the mother and the eggs at the link below.
