All six pipped. I can't even beleive it. Some of these eggs were so dented and molded that I was shocked to see little heads poking out! I mean, they were half the size of the other eggs that hatched. They looked horrible for the last 3 weeks. Check out the bottom of this egg! If you looking closely you can see what is inside!
I was even more surprised to see that one was completely out of the egg. Some of you may remember that half the babies from this pair last year were really red as hatchlings. This one was a SUPER LIGHT RED baby similar to last years females. Sure enough it is a female!
Last year all of them from this pair had some striping or connected pattern and I was pleased to see that she is banded.
Here she is...
So what do ya think of her?
I am so thankful all six were good. I needed some good luck after having a string of bad luck.
Here is a pic of her next to the darkest female from the other clutch. They are so different...
Its craaazzzy!!!! WOO HOOO! Here is another one...
