Poll: How long eggs take to hatch.

[R&D1]

My Okeetee Hatch

My Okeetee Abbotts just hatched. I planned a little experiment by holding a tight control on the egg temperature. They took 54 days for both clutches of eggs at a temperature of 88 F. Temperature varied + .3/- .2 tenth for about 98% of the time. The thermometer used was certified/calibrated and had a thermocouple wire wraped arround the thermometer bulb to record the temperature variations and was placed in the container holding the eggs.
All 29 little guys and girls are doing fine.

I'm at day 78... 77-82 degrees...eggs still look good...no denting... patience is killing me!!

last year...day 60 on the nose...

I guess they are waiting for me to go out of town!

I'm at day 57 at the low 80's... I haven't checked yet today, but I hope they will come soon! A couple days ago the shells got softer, I hope that's a good sign.

I hope all your eggs are hatching well and that you've all had a very successful season
