well lemme sum it up, im pretty sure the reasons of the failures are either:
-not humid enough
-too hot! ( my house gets up to 95+) very probable
-sperm not fretile because of no brumation

i thinks a combonation of the three...
but i dont want to spend 250 on a cooling/heating incubator unless i have too... im going to try and breed my corns soon so they incubate when its cold, cuz else the incubator gets too hot.. that or.. i have a big walkin closet.. i think i should get a small air condidtioner thing for it to keep it cool enough and have the incubator in there..
im doing the precoess right this time..


what ya think joe?
I would say they were lost because of the humidity issue .My god how do you stand a 95 degree house? Its easy to candle the eggs to see if they are viable.If you take a small flashlight and shine it on one side you should be able to see thru it and see veins(if they are viable).In my opinion brumation is a waste of time.I never cooled mine and instead used that time to fatten my girld up more.I let my breeders tell me when they wanted to stop eating.
