i too am contemplating maternal incubation the season after next. i have a normal female reduced pattern black back dinker that when she is big enough will get my male reduced pattern dinker. this clutch is inportant but not as much as say my gargoyle clutches or killer bee ones. the more expensive clutches will be in the incubator while the one clutch i may try maternal incubation. not for any other reason than to say i have done it and to experience it for my self.

while we may have the knowledge to artificially incubate eggs, the balls themselves have been doing it for much longer and much better than us. the eggs seem to hatch out bigger babies that are stronger and exit the egg sooner. their are benefits to both.
