Omg they are starting to hatch! Time period by the time they have all hatched I estimate to be exactly 72hours. One sort of pops out of his bubble, shoots up the side of the tumbler in a burst of energy, then drops back to the bottom and snuggles back under his other egg encased mates who are all waiting patiently for their turn.
You can see the tail on the right, I wasn't quick enough with the camera to catch him up the side of the tumbler.
Yup, not only a tail but a little head as well. They are almost transparent apart from the eyes, the bloodvessels and the egg sack.
Dads looking very excited at this time, about 2am. He has another chickie babe in his log.
He better not go kicking out the eggs this time or he is in big trouble.
