I think it's wonderful that they all seem to hatch out at more or less the same time. How many are you up to now?

Is this the first clutch or some from the second one?

These are from the first cluch of 59 eggs laid by Emma they were divided into three tubs and for some reason this tub all hatched first then the other two tubs started to hatch four days later. It seems that once the first one starts to pip it sends out some sort of signal and low and behold all the others starting from the first pipped egg start hatching.
As the eggs are soft shelled they tend to go round and round and cut a lot of the shell with the sharp edges of their scutes a bit like taking the top off a boiled egg.:)

Next to hatch will be Claires 54 eggs laid two weeks later then Mary brown laid her 69 eggs about four week later so probably won't start hatching till Christmas time.

The fertility rate is so high and it would be interesting to know whether it was one of the males responsible or all three but not sure how you would find this out. Will keep you out of mischief sorting them all out presumably they have to be kept humid.

Whoo hoo!!! How lucky you are. I put lots (I can't remember the number without looking it up) of Mee eggs in the incubator and little by little disposed of the rotten ones until now I'm down to six that still look pretty good. The three that hatched from my previous batch a couple months ago are doing good, but one of them has no eyes and will eventually have to be euthanized. Can't bring myself to do it yet because he's eating and drinking on his own and seems to be getting along ok.

Your new babies are beautiful!!!
