How many eggs are you expecting? Did you palpate early on?

I'm expecting about 5. I palpated not long before she ovulated.

Thanks. Now her belly is even more distended and is even closer to the tail. She's only got 9 days to go.
I'm going to see if I can move the incubator downstairs as I'm getting a 3.5° range on temps in the incubator. It's ranging from 88.5-92.1 during the day. I'm going to see how low it gets tonight. The room the incubator is in has massive temp fluctuations (recorded 81.5-96.3 today during the day) due to a giant window and skylight and the fact the AC doesn't work so well upstairs. Downstairs the temp only ranges between 70-74.

Just caught her doing this. She's due on the 29th, so do you think she'll lay sooner?

I'm curious, palpate? Why palpate? Is this something you have to do when they ovulate? I'm a newbee and have read everything til I'm cross eyed and never came across anything that said palpate. Please do fill me in. signed: curious newbee

Palpating is basically feeling for developing follicles in the females belly. I palpate a few times during the season. It can also give you a rough idea of how many eggs she'll lay. For example on this female I felt 5 definite follicles. So I should get five eggs.
I'm so excited! Pics to come as soon as she lays
