Almost forgot to post the results of my hatching 'research'! lol...
15 eggs went into lockdown... 2 pipped wrong end and a 3rd tried, had to assist those... 12 internally pipped, and 8 of those externally pipped 12hrs later... put safe holes in other 4, accidentally broke open too big of a hole in 1, assisted it as well... by morning 1 with a safe hole had passed... the rest externally pipped as well... 8 'lings hatched entirely on their own, the last 2 couldn't zip due to excessive goo, assisted those 2...
So, out of 15, 8 pipped, zipped and hatched completely on their own, 6 were assisted and lost 1...
14 happy, healthy, bouncing 'lings in a nice variety of colors...
For size comparison, Lilly is the dark one towards bottom right with bill tucked into the pile, lol...
So when are you "continuing with your research", Rav?
