28-30 days with the average being 30 days but some have been known to go 32.

I have a question to add on.. I have read the completed gees incubating guide and cannot make sense of it. I'm really just looking for the Temps and Humidity levels. I have 6 Toulouse eggs in my incubator and I have them at 99.5 degrees with a 55% humidity. I can't seem to find a clear concise right to the point answer to my questions. Also how many days for toulouse, and when should I start lockdown? do I drop temp and raise humidity at a certain point as well?
TIA And sorry to take over your post.

You won't get a solid answer on humidity levels because the correct humidity varies by location, elevation, etc. Best thing to do is to weigh them as detailed in the Guide and then adjust humidity accordingly. Second best is to watch the air cells and make adjustments based on that.

99.5 is fine, that's what I always do my eggs at. No need to lower temperature for lockdown, but you do need to increase the humidity to 65 or 70 percent. I do that once I see the air cells drawing down.
