Egg being laid, frame by frame

However I realize that things can go wrong, and I have to keep a close eye on those groups, to be sure they are not being adversely affected by these living conditions. Also if one happens to eat it's cagemate, it is 100% my fault, and I know the risks in advance!

It actually turned white and hardened up, but I think it is bad. I candled it and it looks infertile. 15 eggs in total, about 5 candle clear.

No, Dennis I haven't had any lay a second clutch just yet, though they're in progress. This one gave me mostly duds last year, so I was happy to see them look fairly good.

Yeah Ross, I miss most of them too. I had a feeling she would be laying that day. I came home from work and made my rounds like I do everyday, and there she was.
