Well, Mystery seems to have stopped laying eggs now. She only laid a handful, which is very, very unusual.
Occassionally, young egg-layers can produce small amounts of unfertilised eggs, as their bodies are reaching maturity. I’m thinking this may have been the case with Mystery.
It is sad that we’re probably not going to have any new babies, but the good news is that Mystery is looking wonderful:) And she has displayed really good instincts, she continued to eat and drink throughout the process, and had regular naps. This bodes well for the future.
I’ve kept the eggs, they in the bedroom with Mystery, and though I don’t think they are viable, I want to give them every chance. Unlike Hope’s eggs, which were large golden globes, these are small, transparent pearls.

How sweet
I’m glad everything has gone as well as can be expected so far and that little Mystery is doing well so far.
I'm Delighted
Mystery has come through this so well. It’s strange when egg-laying starts, I always feel a mixture of excitement and dread, so many things can go wrong, and often the little one dies of exhaustion:(
But Mystery looks great, in fact she seems rather proud of herself:) She was so relaxed last night when I was putting her to be, and full of kisses. Considering how shy and timid she was at first, she’s coming along beautifully:)

Jessy is having computer problems.
Gemmword, where are you?
I have not seen you in too many days . . . just hoping you are okay!
She got hurt in a wheelchair accident.
I don’t quite understand what happened, but she tumbled out of her wheelchair somehow and got pretty messed up.
Jessy is having computer problems.
Oh, no . . .
hope she’s okay and will be back soon.
Thanks for letting me know.
