    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....

A friend's Texas Indigo laid eggs today, I believe there was 21, all of them were somewhat yellow, we assumed that it was the sphagnum not being fully washed. The female, who usually leaves the nesting box stayed this year, wrapped around the eggs, leaving a few not shaped quite right, a few of the eggs were sticking together, which is what some breeders use as a rule of thumb for fertility, I am still holding out hope for him that they are fertile, and do hatch, I will have a photo up in the next few hours. I was hoping anyone can drop some reassuring stories about their indigos, or some good tips on what to look for.
 
No reassuring stories here (no indigos) but would love to see the picture once you have it - good stuff!
 
The odd shapes and yellow color indicate likely some slugs in there, but hopefully some from the clutch are ok. Indigo eggs are not adhesive; they do not stick together.
