Various crosses at various stages of life, some are easier to guess than others. I will give the answers when I return from Dayton.

A few months ago I posted on another forum about the difficulties I was having hatching peachthroat eggs. You replied with how easy it was to hatch eggs and you can't understand why it was such a big deal. Now it seems you are having difficulties hatching eggs.
One of the things experience teaches us is that we don't know as much as we think we do.
Good Luck.

Yes Richard, I am inexperienced, becoming more experienced. I don't recall telling you in response how easy it was, I have never hatched peachy eggs, I am sure because they come from a wet environment that it would be difficult, perhaps peachy eggs would have done well in place of my first batch of kimberly eggs and would have hatched.

I think the deal is that it is easier to do a lot of this stuff in our own homes, like sexing. If those were my monitors I would probably know the sex of many of them, maybe not all. With subsequent kimberly eggs I will probably do better than with my first batch, but maybe not all.

I still think hatching eggs is easy, on a relative basis anyhow. I think I freaked out with the first batch trying to think about how much money I would lose (not gain anyhow) by killing them and overcompensated, perhaps next time I will just tell myself that they are just eggs and who cares, they aren't monitors.

I have a big mouth and am the first to admit it, sometimes i am really successful, sometimes i am really bad, i think i am getting better every year, but hey thats just honesty.

sorry, andrew

Crosses don't keep their juvenile color, just to let you know, it dulls out

Great pictures, but why does it feel like you're posting pictures just to make some of us look bad? It seems very unpleasent. Your personal thoughts for me asside I'll take a shot just for fun.

Oh well here goes I guess I'll look bad!

I'd say they're:

1.
.1
.1
1.
1.
.1
.1
1.
.1
1.
..1

Then again they aren't my animals, and they aren't my pictures, and being the one taking the pictures gives alot of context that we can't gleen from the pictures.

Raising the animals seems to help alot when it comes to sexing them, you can see behavior and what not.

I also don't have many monitors, just the ackie and the sav, I had the .1 ackie and the 1. kimberly, so I that gives me an idea too, but not much of one. I but I'm all wrong
