    incubation timeline

    I noticed the temp in my egg tub was unusually high (92 f) when I checked on them tonight. the eggs are on day 32 and they've been incubating at 89f. I read that the ambient temp in the tub gets higher due to the hatchlings coming closer to full term so does that happen around this time period?

    also around what day do the eggs start to dimple?


    thanks!

    Not sure, never measured inside tub temps. I set the Incubators temps to stay 88 top to bottom. So the egg tubs will eventually reach those temps as well.

    I do know closer to hatching the eggs require less humidity and thus causing condensation on the tub lid and sides.

    For me they dimple around day 50. My egg tubs are 88-89. The tub will go up a degree or two right before hatching. I'd say if it was 92 now I would try and bring it down just a tad so that when the little ones are about to hatch they don't overheat.
