Hi Chris!

I did incubate them at 26°C for the first 8 weeks and then changed to 28°C.
I will incubate future eggs at 28°C too.
Do you have a pair or trio?

best regards

Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,

I have only 1.1 right now. Thanks for the information, I incubate mine at 28°C right now. How long was the incubation time in your case?

Br,
Chris

Well, with having the incubation temperature at 26°C at the beginning and changing later to 28°C it lasted 112 days which is a quite long time. I think usually they should hatch at 80-90 days.
Do you have a night setback ? My incubator is off from 3 a.m. to 60 a.m.

best,


Sebastian

112 days is quite long... No, right now I incubate them at 28°C constantly (Kunstglucke). I think I will also include some night temperature drop with future eggs.
