Finally after much ado about nothing, I have a pipper! It is even one of the fuzzy eggs! Not the best photo, but more will follow.

You do know not to push them out? I'm sure you do but it's worth mentioning just in case. They still have to absorb the yolks which will be their sustinance for up to a couple months. Hopefully not that long anyway, if they eat soon after their first shed.

Yes, this is only my first time with alternas. I have hatched corns a few times. Here is a pic from 2004.

Outstanding! Especially considering it was one of the fuzzy ones, too.

That's great that the fuzzed-up egg has pipped for you first and at least relieved "some" of the stress and anxiety..LOL!

I bet you are happy you did not throw the fuzzy eggs away! What a splendid little baby! I love those Blair's type alternas.
