    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 wanted to post this yesterday, but been busy with my balloon business. Prom season is brutal, I thought brides were bad...arrggg.

Anyways, I was cleaning out the hatchling tubs yesterday and took picks of the babies. All whopping 9 of them....LOL. With 11 more clutches in the incubator, a few girls still laying and a few starting late, I'm sure that number will rise to a very nice number for my second season.

Here they are in order.

Thanks Jeanne! Didn't think of it that way, but I like that too. It was more on the lines that i didn't think she'd end up baldy, so she's my Diamond in the rough.
 
As I have scaled back my breeding this year I only have 3 hatched. I still have a couple of females laying and 13 or 14 eggs cooking, but I am anticipating that the hatchlings will develop nicely and I should post some pics later or over the weekend of the 3 (all less than 3 weeks old)
 
Congrats Felicia!!
They are all lovely babies
I like the fifth one the best
:D

Thanks everyone. They're all so cute, but I'm their mommy, they'd be cute to me even if they were ugly....Heeheehee. I can't wait to see what else pops out of the incubator in the next few weeks.
