I may not be getting any. Checked temp yesterday and it was 108.

Have I said I hate LGs.

I once had an old one and when temps went haywire I assumed it was cause it was old. This one is 2 years old and only used twice before.

look look two more then you expected!!!

Yep!!! My only concerns are how wet she is and that the eggs around her all seem to have a sheen to them. I can't test the humidity so I'm hoping I've got it right.

I hope they hatch for you anyway! Maybe the temp spike didn't last too long?

i know right!!! wish mine would open more least see beak




hey ron question oh wise hatching guru

...............so I was of course reading more for last few hours and my question is this... once they internally pip and begin to transition into breathing real air are they out of the transition stage when they externally pip? and if they have externally pipped is it safe to assume they have transitioned fine to breathing normal?
