ok so the dark spots on the pointy end of the egg are probly egg stuff and not to be worried?


and for lockdown tomorrow turn the bator down to 98?

98.5 is fine for hatching.

No more cool down cycle though.

Just a few more days and we can see if any of these poor eggs will hatch! They are not looking good, despite some of the grins a few got early on!

98.5 to 100.5 is considered safe incubation. That would be the temp for a fan forced. A still air you would use the average between the bottom and top of the eggs.

A slightly lower temperature is good at hatch.

I really want some Brahmas! I am hoping to get some blue/gold partridge eggs for the Easter HAL.
