Looks like I may have Biardis this year...

[carol]

7 HUGE eggs from this girl and they look great! Maybe they will all be female after Hurley's ratios. 7 Brides for 7 Biardis? OK, that was corny.

They were so big you can see how the second half of her is completely "deflated".

Congrats Carol! She is really superb! And big eggs too! Good luck!

 

[Hurley]

That's AWESOME! Congrats!

I still can't get over how big the eggs are that they lay. They're ginormous.

 

[xavusangel]

thats awesome Carol, congrats...after those big eggs shes gonna need some fattening up lol

 

[carol]

Here is a pic of the proud papa. They are kind of an odd couple, she is so dark and he is so light. I like both variations. We will have to see if the babies end up inbetween. LOL.

Congratulations!

Do you have a waiting list? Maybe I'll get lucky and get a male from Connie and a girl from you!

 

[carol]

The waiting list is wide open! Other than a thread with pics of these two breeding, I haven't advertised them at all. I was on the fence on whether to breed them for awhile, then I wasn't sure what the outcome would be since this is my first time breeding Biardi. I'd be happy to take names now that I have such beautiful eggs!

 

[CornCrazy]

WooHoo! That means I am at the top of the list!

 

[carol]

Yep! :cheers:

 

[magick-bears]

Well if the list is still open could you add us for 1.1?

Are they Mexican or Texan Biardis? We are getting a male Mexican the end of the month. The breeder we are getting him from got rid of all his Texens to focus on just Mexicans. He says that the Mexicans are much more orange. Looks like I am going to have to do some research and see if there really is a difference.

Sure!
The female is a Davis Mountain local and the male is a HWY 277.
I had a Mexican male once and he was actually a strange greenish yellow. :shrugs:

 

[Hurley]

The Mexicans I've seen have been yellowish to yellow-orange bodied with grey heads and lack the "metal" of the Texas Bairdi.

Biardi list is now full.
Thanks Terri, Joni, Jeff, and Joe N.!

Those are some nice colors on the parents, Bairdis are my favorites under Corns. I just love the Orange and steel coloration. I have a female that I think is either a late 03 or an early 04. Starting to get her coloration in and looking pretty. I need to find her a boyfriend some time down the line.

 

[Roy Munson]

Biardi list is now full.
Thanks Terri, Joni, Jeff, and Joe N.!

Carol: If you have any no-shows on your list, you know you can always count on me to be tempted. You can put me on the back-up list. I'll be getting these at some point anyway.

 

[carol]

No problem! Thanks Dean!

 

[ratsncorns]

Carol, if anyone else backs out, I would be interested! Are these the only pair your breeding this year?

 

[carol]

OK, and yes this is my one and only pair. The female bred for a second clutch but she is in her second shed since she layed and she is not nearly as large as she was the last time so who knows if she will lay more.

 

[carol]

First one out! It is so cute

 

[Hurley]

Awwwww, adorable! Congrats on the new Bairdi babes.
