I'm curious what the approximate hatch time is when incubating at 86*? I've got a clutch that is on day 52. Though for the first week I have no idea what the temp or hunidity were like. Other than that too low of humidity, they didn't have a thermometer or hygrometer in the tub. I can find people saying a time line for 89* and I'm not sure how much those 3* will make a difference in the time frame. I'm expecting to see some pipping action around next weekend, but I'm not sure. 4 of the 8 eggs recovered once I got them in the incubator, 4 are brown and shriveled looking like raisins.
When should I expect to see some pipping at these incubation temps? Incase the eggs are hard from the early dehydration, when should I cut an escape slit, if at all?
Hatching someone else's eggs like this will definitely help for when my girls decide to lay clutches for me.
Btw, I just built a 9 shelf X 4 tub wide rack with 4" tape for the babies. That sucker is heavy.
Thanks,
Kyle
