I had high hopes for this clutch when she laid them.
And then.......like a lot of BHP eggs do......they started going bad... slowly, one by one.

Had 8... now have 3.
They were due to pip on Monday. They didn't so I pipped them yesterday.
Looks like one is dead in the egg but, cannot tell at the moment.
Anyway, this morning as I looked in (thinking the worst) I see this little head pokin' out.

I'll keep you guys up-dated as they come out....IF they come out.

KEEP IN MIND. one is one more than you had before! congrats on those BHP's!! keep the pics coming... can you post more of that craazy high band count bhp

Well, they're (It's) not out of the egg(s) yet! Haha.
You never know until they're out.

Sure, I'll get pictures up of them all... after they shed.
Right now they are all blue.

Thanks and cheers.

Ahhh Derek you're killing me. My pair bred for days. Ultrasound showed some nice follicles. Female began fasting. And then she began eating and it feels like any follicles were reabsorbed.

Looks like another bummer year for BHP breeding at my place, but I'm really happy you're getting a decent crop.

Thanks a bunch Doug.
I hope your BHP's go next year.
I remember your babies being really nice.

Did you keep any back from that breeding?

O.K. Thus far... one has made it out.

The 2nd one is still in the egg and the 3rd was dead in the egg.

Here is a shedder from the 1st clutch.

Cheers.

That one from the 1st clutch sure looks awesome bro. You coming to TX any time soon?

O.K. Here is the other survivor from clutch 2.
I'll get a better picture today.
She is very weak and skinny....I hope she makes it, as she is very pretty.

Cheers and wish me luck with these 2.

Sending out good karma. I hope "Little Bit" makes it.

Thanks Tim.
Little bits huh?
Yeah...that'll have to stay!
Cheers.

Here's those 2 BHP's from the last clutch.


Looks like they are gaining strength and coming around nicely.
Cheers.

Simply amazing looking!!! Dang, you nailed it with those two. Hope they feed for ya. I've got one outta 5 eating. More 'tricks' to try.

All the best with them!
