    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I had a girl lay 6 eggs last night, one is a little runt egg, but it looks like she still has an egg in her. It seems to be in the right direction, as far as I can tell. I noticed this when I was taking the eggs from her, do I leave her for another day to see if she passes it or do I take her to the vet immediately?
 
Never mind! I massaged the area when I had her out and either her getting pissed at me did the trick or the massage did, she passed it just now. 7 eggs, 797g, with 1 runty one that probably won't make it! great looking clutch, I'll post pictures later.
 
Thanks guys, I've definitely learned not to give up on an egg until it starts rotting, the runt is in there with the rest of them. It is very very tiny, but hopefully it'll make it!
 
Have you tried candling the runty one to see if it looks good?

And congrats on the clutch, BTW. ;)
 
I candled them all, the big 6 look great, but I didn't see any veins in the small one. I'm leaving it in there of course, but I'm not expecting great things from the little guy. Such is life!
