Mocha, one of our gravid West Papuans began laying late this morning and finished up tonight with 11 fertile eggs and 1 infertile. The entire clutch weighed 516 grams and she weighed 1056 grams after laying. She went into the breeding season at about 1600 grams so it seems she assimilated those fat reserves into eggs quite well. The only downer to this is that the one infertile egg ended our 100% fertility streak with our WPs.....it's the first infertile egg we have ever gotten from any WP we have ever bred. Oh well...I am pleased to say the least.

WOWSERS!!!!! I'm so ecxited, and I just can't hide it!!!..LOL. That's great Yasser! I think one infertile egg amongst the many you have had is pretty good.

Oh yeah, and thanks for making my sanity go down the drain.....all these newcomings have me wigged out.

I was getting pretty anxious to see eggs myself. Especially when Will told me that Jenna was laying. So I made sure to whisper a few words of encouragement to Mocha, and a couple of hours later, she was laying her clutch too!

And Matt, your sanity? Think of how I feel!!!!
BTW, have you ever thought of selling a kidney? At your age, you should be able to get top dollar....just think what you could do with that cash!

...I NEED both of my kidneys. I have a high likelihood of developing diabetes later in life, so they both will come in handy. I do however have other organs that I think I could live without.

Good Job, Yasser!!!! That's a great looking clutch!
