Last clutch for the year (c'mon pieds!)

I was sorely tempted to cut them yesterday but decided against it after candling them and seeing they all looked perfectly fine (babies moving, no mold, etc). When I checked in on Kyriel earlier I saw that she wasn't coiled as tightly on the eggs and knew something was up. I was sooo happy and relieved to see this little one peeking out from its mom's coils. I'm sure the rest will be pipping tonight or tomorrow. :)
 
Firstly, Congratulations!! I can't wait to see more babehs! = )

Secondly... that is easily one of the most adorable things I've ever seen in my life. Period.

I'm thrilled!! I just hope there is more than just the one! More than one female pied would be even better! :)
 
Thats such a relief to see the first one because then a weight is lifted off your chest and you know you at least got one!!! I know the feeling hahaha. congrats!

So far just the one egg has pipped. I'm fairly certain baby #1 here is a little boy. It's a little disappointing because I really wanted a little girl but he's awfully cute.


Also, just a little FYI on using a deep sphagnum bed (2"+) with brooding moms... Moms flip out when something unseen is burrowing around under the bedding near their nest. LOL
