Electricbarbarella Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 (edited) I am going to have to go out in the monsoon to put the jay cloths down and give the eglu a quick clean in readiness. Still 5 eggs under, last time I candled there were 4 definate goers thsat I could see through at all and one that was cleasr, I decided to leave that one under as well as it ad no blood ring or anythiong. I am crossing everything. Do they hatch about the bsame time of day as you set them? I am trying to distrub hufflepuff as little as possible, she is doing such a great job. Sob Eglutine youre going to be a step mum soon. Hope I know how to put photos up ion my new computer. Edited June 13, 2009 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
