Ok then no news is good news in this case. Keep those eggs a’boilin Pineapple Sienna and Sylvia! No surprises! Until the pippers start! ![]()
Got bored, so it’s time for some more egg data! I weighed everything, marked it all on a diagram, here’s what we’ve got:
Pineapple’s heaviest eggs were 14.5g each. The lightest is 11.9g. Average egg weight is 13.8g.
Sienna’s heaviest egg was 17.9g. The lightest was 15.9g. Average egg weight 16.5g.
Sylvie’s clutch had multiple eggs left stuck together, so I used the average weight for those. Her heaviest egg was 10.2g. Lightest was 9.1g. Average egg weight 9.7g.
All averages were rounded to the nearest .1g
That’s a lot of figuring girl friend! But very impressive! ![]()
I am a big data fan! Keep them stats comin’!
I suspect that Pineapple’s clutch may possibly hatch sooner than the 63 day mark based on what I’m seeing upon candling. The inside of some of the eggs are starting to get that “feathery” look to the albumin, and the veins seem to be beginning to pull back from the shell. We’re only at 46 days, so we’ll see how much longer they go.
Decided to get some photos of what I mean by a “feathery” albumin. First photo is a typical egg that hasn’t yet gotten to that stage, and the second is the “feathery” one. Forgive my bright as heck flashlight, i need to get a proper pen light at some point.
Good example pic! It always reminds me of one of those shimmery drinks. Like you can see the fluid movement.

Exactly! Very good comparison. Also that photo brings back memories. ![]()
Such a cool photo comparison. I love your attention to detail, Jess.
Since it is now after midnight here, we are officially down to the single digits for Pineapple’s clutch, if they hatch on their projected date!
T minus and counting………
Almost there!
C’mon Pineapple!
Yay for the soon to hatch!!
We both are going to have to! ![]()
Day 58 for Pineapple’s clutch, still nothing yet. It does look like the veins are regressing, so they should be hatching soon. I wonder how close to day 63 they’ll actually go. An interesting development is that Sienna’s eggs are looking closer as well, despite only being at day 47. There are also three candling a slightly different color than the rest. Guess we’ll see if there were any surprise hets out of Ducky!
Come on mommas! We are waiting patiently for your eggs to appear! Not too soon but soon enough! ![]()

I was wondering about Pineapple’s clutch this morning. I remembered the count was down to single digit days. I’m dying to see some Pineapple pippies!
Pineapple has so many cuties. I stick keep trying to talk my son into Fuse. He is soooo handsome.
I have to remember to update everyone’s photos here soon, they’re really coming into their colors now.
