Drip, drop, leaky egg

I’m expecting the last two eggs of the season to hatch any day. Looks like one of the future hatchlings has heard about all the attention the lovely Ms. Leaky of @noodlehaus and @lumpy fame has gotten and wants in on some of that. Jess, how long before pipping did Leaky’s egg leak?

Leaky started leaking 5 days before anyone else pipped. Here’s to hoping your little leaky is just as successful in hatching! :blue_heart: :crossed_fingers:

I’ll keep an eye on this thread, sending all the positive hatching vibes out to your incubator!

Positive vibes appreciated! Never before actually had a leaky egg, at least to my knowledge. It’s been such an odd year.

Well at least I can share my experience, seems your season has mimicked mine in many ways. Quite the rollercoaster, but it all has balanced out thus far.

Right? I generally love roller coasters but this season’s ride has been a bit extra wild!

Thanks. Looked normal when I candled it briefly. Hopefully its occupant will soon emerge, nice and healthy. There is one other egg in this last, second clutch but it’s not leaking. Yet. :laughing: The parents are Odin & Sunlight. I’m hoping for another Caramel Ghost Stripe but any healthy baby is a win.

Well then, very similar scenarios! The colour of the fluid looks good, as did that of Leaky, so barring any other issue, you should have a healthy little one peeking out soon enough!

Hopefully this one will have a happy ending like yours, Jess. Er, I mean YOURS, Riley! :rofl:

You’re getting healthy hatchling vibes from both of us with the happy ending! I’m sure Leaky would join in as a third, too.

Also, might I suggest Dewdrop if this little one is a girl, Dewey if male. :thinking:
