    Mother/Eggs Temp Question

    I've read that you hatch date can rely on your incubation temps. (lower temps, slower cook...)

    Would the same principal hold true for when the female is building the eggs up inside of her. What I mean is if the temps in your females cage are a little bit lower then normal could it prolong the period from POS to laying? Thanks in advance!!

    Yes it does slow down the process. I'm doing that now to see what outcome I get.
