That's a huge clutch! Wouldn't it be amazing if they all hatched? Let us know what happens, Misty!

I know right?! Is that even normal?

I took the eggs away and replaced them with the 4th or 5th egg - I would have to look it up but goodness girlfriend went on to lay 3 to 4 more eggs!!! She is like a Queen sitting on that nest too - just as regal as she can be with her nesting material surrounding her like a fur cout or something...

She must be very proud of all that bounty she produced!

I think you are right Anna - she certainly seems proud of her eggs! That is why I couldn't get a good look at her eggs because as soon as she goes off them I look (just that one time) but as soon as she sees me coming she goes straight to her eggs - like no peeking!!! So I had about a nano second to take a look and she was settling back on them again....

I found that egg candler too - I still don't know how I missed it?! It was right under my nose for a week or more?!

If they all hatch you might have to build an addition to their nest so they'll all fit! Or they'll be stacked 2-3 deep!

For some reason that gets me chuckling.. I can see them all stacked up with nothing but open mouths showing.

That is exactly what my husband said

He was like how are they all going to fit? I said I don't know because the eggs almost don't fit!

This will be interesting! And... what a good problem to have, Misty, (better than no eggs and no interest in them by far!)

Well the Queen is a mother again ;)

Two babies have hatched and 4 more to go

Any more canary hatchlings, Misty?

I don't know yet - I didn't look this morning before leaving for work but left them with lots of eggfood just in case!

It's so exciting!!! Bet you can't wait to get home from work to do a head count!

WOWZA!

Go home now! Tell your boss that we said you could leave early - go, run! We're waiting to hear the news!
