| Thanks ether! Probably about 52 days. They were at 30.7 +/- 0.1 degrees over the past 24 hours (suprisingly steady, even for old faithful), but I might crank it up by 0.5 degrees or so at some point.
Good luck Spring! Yours are green phase aren't they?  |

| | Sdaji Subscriber | Join Date: Jun-04 Location: Victoria | | | here's the rest of the clutch. I don't think these two are going to hatch. Anyone want to put them in their incubator? |

| Yep, absolutely. One year, due to a faulty thermometer, I had them really hot, hatched them in 39 days! The thermo was faulty so I don't know exactly what temperature they were at. I wouldn't take them over a mean temperature of 32 or 33 and would expect problems by 34 or so. Best hatch rates for maccies are probably at about 30-31, or so is my guess. You can also do maccy eggs quite cold, a friend of mine had 100% hatch rate at 27 degrees.

I have hatched my mac's at 33 days at 32.5c. Any hotter and you are asking for trouble. I hatch mine these days at 32c and hatch them in approx 40 to 44 days. |

| Sure is!! I think I have gillen's eggs on the way, or perhaps they were laid today (she was going nuts digging yesterday), but I didn't get a chance to check until the lights were out, so I'll have to wait until tomorrow to find out.
These eggs were such a suprise! I wasn't expecting them for at least another 2 weeks. She's never laid this early before.
