Got a good clutch of Hondo eggs. After 2 years and 4 clutches of duds, my Hypo TriColor male did the deed. Nice and big healthy clutch of six.

Thanks Jerry, now comes the long 60 day wait to see the outcome of the long pain staking wait. I am hoping to see some vanishing pattern tricolor babies.

In some regards having bad clutches makes you appreciate the good ones even more!

Post pics of the nates when they hatch!

Thanks Rusty, you are right too. I definately appreciate this clutch more than any other on laid this year, for sure.

Thanks Doug, yea they are pretty big, I am so used to the smaller eggs and these just are like 5x the size of some of the other that have been laid this year, I was like whoa!. Probably pretty normal for Hondos though.
