9 all together, I lost one in the egg full term they are all 50% het for pied. I am going to pop them later today, I am keeping my fingers crossed for alot of females.


These guys came out sometime last night small buggers 4 eggs and the largest was 58 grams and the littlest was 46

It was amazing to see these guys come out. Awesome season.
Thanks for looking.

Good luck, everyone has to start somewhere and thats not a bad way to start. At the end you will hopefully have more hets then 1.

Congrats on your success!! I am just learning the the no sub method and I noticed in your pics, it kinda looks like your eggs were touching or sitting in the water just a little. I maybe seeing them wrong but was curious if they could?-thanks for any response-phillip

Eggs were no where near the water. I used a double layer of egg crate and pearlite and water under the egg crate. I loved the way it worked. Humidity was perfect and the temps. No mold . Only thing was as the babies were coming out I put paper towel under the eggs because even with the little bowl they were getting to the water under the egg crates, I did'nt think that was the best thing for them to drink.
