How much longer?

My first clutch (the one with the lone surviving egg) was laid May 19th. I have read that they usually takes about 50-ish days to hatch; so how long am I looking at roughly, I ask of you experienced breeders? I have it incubating at 90 degrees, in a Little Giant incubator, in an inner container Rubbermaid in vermiculite.

50-60 is the number. The waiting is the hardest part! I had eggs pip at 55 after incubation at 89 degrees. But they'll come out when they are ready. A watched egg never hatches...Or something like that...

day 55-57 seems to be the average this year for me.

Now I know how tough the waiting is. I really just want it to hatch because every day that passes makes me more nervous, since the other eggs looked fine before they went bad. I still have the seventh one in the incubator along with the good one, but I think it's a goner; however the last good egg candles with nice red veins, whch gives me hope :)

My eggs normaly hatch within 2 to 4 days once the first one starts.You will get gray hairs waiting for your eggs to hatch lol.My wife tells me i act like i am a expecting father waiting in the delivery room for his kid to be born lol.

lol, I completely understand ya there. I am always looking in on the egg (luckily, the incubator lid has glass windows.) Like something is going to change between days 29 and 30, lol.
We are on day 30 today. :P
