Nelly and Aveline have both stopped laying at 8 eggs. Teagan has laid 7 eggs so far, but most of them have been poorly formed and/or broken. She has two left, but they are showing clear, so I will probably just split her and Donovan up and put them back into the community cages.
Kelpie goes into her nest box, but so far has not laid any eggs.
Now the fun part: Over the last two days, 4 chicks have hatched!
All four have black eyes, which means that they are not cinnamon or recessive pied. Since Mystery is cinnamon, all his girl offspring will be cinnamon, so in that nest (Mystery x Nelly), that means that the first two chicks are boys.
It is too soon to tell about Riley and Aveline's chicks.
I wanted to put pictures in this blog, but I don't see any option for that. So I think I will stop adding to this, and switch over to having a sort of a journal on a regular page in my website, where I can
