22 Apr 1400: Egg D hatches (3.85g); to Chgo
23 Apr 0400: Z; Left leg to Chgo
1000 '12' starts pipping Bian kid to Chgo
1230 '12' hatch to Chgo
23 Apr 2200 (10pm) Q pip (Patti)
24 Apr 0600 Found '12' baby dead. Maybe I overfed it (but it wasn't constipated) I cut off its wings and put them in N2 (I didn't give it a number). Body is tagged "Bian", in Formalin in a Film canister in the Fridge.
0700 Q didn't seem to be pipped. I decided to help it out. However, upon opening I found it had recently died (just 64 pipping). Will none of my experiments work? Limbs are in N2, body in Formalin (CVGR Q)
0900 Egg W From Chgo pipping
1130 Pipping hasn't progressed, so I help it out of it's shell. Baby From Egg W into Bian at 1330.
25 Apr 0630 Egg J (#7 from cvi) pipping. I helped it out belly
2000 Egg T (Chgo) hatch
2330 blue (Blm1) hatch (white on head) ink on back
26 Apr 1130 Bian kid (B, LW) = 11.9, RW, BL = 6.5 (Blm1) both
these went into Blm1. Belly is perky so I put him + the other Blm1 kid (5.8) into Pipe (the Blm1 kid not looking good). The 2 newest kids B (was white head, from Blm1) = 4.5, the other is 5.0 (Chgo) God, I hope these didn't get mixed up. Just marked the Chgo kid RLW. It seems that hatchlings start declining after @ 12 hr in the
