Pipping.

Journal Entry: Sat Nov 21, 2009, 12:17 PM
If we are going to be damned, let us be damned for what we really are.
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard

My first batch of quail eggs was contaminated by a bad egg that leaked into the incubator's water reservoir, forcing me to compost all the eggs and sterilize the incubator. In trying to make sure I had the incubator fully cleaned, I ended up having to save up about three week's worth of eggs (viability goes down after the first week). The second batch finally hatched on day 18 of a 16 day incubation period. If they hadn't pipped last night I would have had to compost this batch as well.

I tell you all of this so you can understand exactly how thrilled I am that they hatched. :D

I ended up with five babies hatching, one of which looks like it may be too weak to make it. By decree of ~EvilAuthor they shall all be named Stan. I put a bobwhite babysitter in with them for now to show them how to eat and drink. :bucktooth:

Unlike many of your other friends, I am looking forward to your move with great anticipation! Well, actually, you being moved - the move itself will suck! Lots of plants needing TLC in Florida!

Your avatar is fishy.
I am starting to see many of you seniors with this sort of icon.
I will get to the bottom of this!
:iconumbravulpis:
It means nothing. :paranoid:
