Updates: Artephius is most definitely still fertile!! When I returned from a visit with family in Oklahoma, Princess Irene had laid 14 perfect eggs. She is het Diffusion, Amel, and Stripe, likely ph Caramel, plus a couple of other ph traits. With Esperanza's clutch, that makes 32 potential babies sired by Artephius, which makes me really happy.
Sunlight and Victory both had a prenatal shed with 24 hours of my return home. Hope to get more healthy eggs soon. Thanks for looking.

I don't know why my females synchronized their laying this year, but yesterday the final two expected clutches arrived. One dam was on Day 39, the other on Day 54. I didn't want to have bunches of babies needing to be set up at the same time but I guess Mother Nature had other plans, lol. I'm thankful that all of the females laid without incident.
Here's Sunlight with her clutch of 18 eggs sired by Odin. This should prove her as Citrine, or Xanthic Snow. She's het stripe so there should be Citrines, Citrine Stripes, Caramel Ghosts and Caramel Ghost Stripes. If she's actually Xanthic Snow there will also be Anery Caramels, Anery Caramel Stripes, Xanthic Snows and Xanthic Snow Stripes.

The other clutch yesterday was from Victory, sired by Rubik. These 11 eggs look really fragile. One ruptured while she was laying. The rest have a lot of irregularities, starburst-type spots, and thin looking areas. They all candle with veins. They are all on the larger side. I'm not sure why this happened. Mom was getting a light dust of calcium and D3 every other feeding beginning about Christmas time, like all of my breeding females. I hope these make it!

Victory's eggs look a bit better after sitting overnight in the nest box. They're still not the most beautiful things. And they're big. Here's a comparative picture of yesterday's eggs. Sunlight's are in the moss. Victory's are in my hand beside Sunlight's eggs. They're so much larger, it looks like I'm holding them closer to the camera but I'm not.

Two weeks into incubation, and Victory's strange looking eggs are mostly developing well. Their texture seems okay, if a bit odd in places. All but one (orange arrow) candle with beautiful, healthy veins. I'm not going to attempt to remove that one. It'll either develop or it won't, but I don't want to disrupt it's neighbors.
There are couple of small spots of mold (green arrows). I think they're from having sat in liquid during the laying process from the egg which broke during laying. I did my best to wipe away all the goop, but I didn't want to press too hard.
It's looking as though most are still viable. So far. [emoji1696]

I think they’ll do fine. I’d throw some moss over the two with mold spots.
Keep us posted.

I've had an interesting month so far. I'll try and post about the stranger events tomorrow. Tonight I'll just share the good news that babies are pipping! The first to arrive is Tulip's clutch by Baldr. She was one of my original purchases from Kathy Love. He's third generation BrightHope, making these babies fourth generation on their father's side. I see five little noses now. Can't wait until morning!

This is definitely the fun part of breeding corns ......pipping and hatching. The first of my nine clutches are due the second week of July and most of the rest the end of July.
