YAHHHOOOOOOO!!!!!!! I knew all the hopes and hardwork and love would pay off!!!

So I didn't know if she was going to go, never saw the Ovy, however she shed roughly 26 days ago, went to check on her and TADDAAAA!! 4 beautiful eggs!

Anyways, since I wasn't expecting her to lay for 4 more days, the Inc hadn't been started. So I just started it, got an egg box ready, 1:1 ratio vermiculite to water by weight and put a probe in it. Right now its at 85 degrees in the tub, still warming up very slowly. I know the therm is set right on it, cause I had it going for a test run about a month ago. So it's just a matter of time for it to get to 89 degrees.

QUESTION IS: Do I let mama incubate until it is RIGHT at 89 degrees, or is it fine to put them in there right now and let them warm up with the box? I have a feeling I should just let her coil until the box is right at 89. Note: I temp gunned her and the eggs and she is around 87 to 89.

PICS! (1st is with flash, 2nd is without)



Thanks for all your help!!!! I'm sooooo soooo stoked right now guys!!! My adrenaline is pumping! lol
