Lost electricity yesterdays for 3 hours.
I removed about 10 eggs from the tumbler today. They were white and fuzzy. Slightly more buoyant than the test.
72 hours from spawn.

20171023_054620.jpg Removed 4 more white eggs. About 20 remain.

More coming, the 75% peacock, I hope.
My 50/50 hybrid is holding eggs today, I never seen it coming. She never looked to be carrying eggs.

I throughly enjoy reading your experiments Mark! Keep us updated! You inspire me to not worry about hybridization myself! (Of course I'm not going to try to sell possible hybrids and ruin the breeds) For personal use it seems very rewarding and interesting!
