I got home today around lunch time and although she hadn't really looked in the mood to lay today I checked in on Nibiru and she was all coiled up around her new clutch! Five *big* healthy looking eggs with nice strong veins. I really thought there were more in her than that, but she looks like a deflated tire so I'm confident they are all here. I'm so thrilled! Now for the sixty day wait! They are due in the area of September 11th so they will all be getting patriotic names.
I'm so excited! I've been waiting for this for six years and after losing her first clutch last year this one means all that much more to me. Wish me luck! This is my one and only clutch for the year, but next year I hope to have another female or two ready to pair up with him as well.
Here she is...now I can finally move her to a clean bin, I've left the urate because I haven't wanted to disturb her this past week.
Five plump eggs!
