    I got my eggs off this New Zealand breeder: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Members/Listings.aspx?member=93138 But she will be not much use to you folk in the US - as I imagine customs will have something to say about that! This breeder is about 1.5hr plane flight away, then the rural courier etc...

    ...I guess the eggs do not have to travel as far in New Zealand - perhaps that has something to do with it? They still flew on a plane though to get here.

    Ok things are looking more optimistic now: The smaller one on the left was the first to pip well over 24hrs ago. He poped out this evening after the big one on the right. He/she pipped and hatched within 1hr. Still another 5 pipped and 1 not pipped.

    5 have now pipped. And still none have hatched. One is at about 24 hrs now - it is still seems happy enough it is still chirping. The second one has opened his pip a little more - but still no zipping from either two. The other 3 only pipped about 3 hours ago. I am still nervous - and I...
