DIS :-(

The two previously-viable eggs that my societies were fostering didn't make it.  I candled both, and they're DIS (dead in shell).  I'm not sure what happened.  I don't think it was anything the societies did wrong.  I left the eggs in place for now, still being incubated, in case the societies are needed in the next few days for additional fostering.  If not, I'll remove the eggs and give them a break.  :-)

Sprinkles and Breeze did have several eggs that they were ignoring, but they've tossed all but one.  I candled it, and it was infertile. They're pretty young; that's typical.

I also checked Frostie and Streak's nest this morning, and found that they had 2 (out of 4) viable eggs, but the eggs were ice cold.  I didn't see a heartbeat in either egg, so I don't know if there's any chance of them making it at this point, but I moved them under my newly-incubating society pair (M/M) since Frostie and Streak had obviously stopped incubating.  I wish I knew their ages, but I bought both of them, and neither seller was able to provide their ages.  They abandoned their last clutch of eggs too, so it's very possible that they're getting on up in age and no longer want to fool with chicks.

Still waiting a few more days before candling the M/M/M society trio's foster eggs to make sure they should be showing one way or the other if they're viable or not.

I may re-pair Kristy (crested zebra) and Blackie.  They've had time to bond, but they seem indifferent to each other ... even a little fussy sometimes.  She sleeps on the far side of the cage from where he is, so there's obviously not a lot of love in the air. ;-)

Oh, and Shelly and Ghost (my "senior citizen" pair) have an egg.  The last few times I tried to breed Shelly, she just dropped the eggs all over the bottom of the cage rather than laying them in the nest.  That was several months ago, and she pretty much stopped laying eggs after that.  But this time she put the egg right in the nest, so perhaps the two "oldsters" decided to raise a clutch of chicks after all.  Given their ages, there's a good chance that the egg(s) will be infertile, but we'll see how it goes.  :-)
