Well done, what temperature did you use?
I have some eggs on 99 days at 86 degrees F, they have grown a fair bit during incubation.

Thanks for your comments.

JohnC they were incubated at 86.5. Best of luck with your eggs.

I may keep them back until I can sex them (4-6mths) so I can set up a new group of 3-4 for my self, the rest will go to new homes. At the moment im breeding out of enjoyment and hope to gain more experience with them, but if there is any demand i will do my best to hatch more eggs.

Ackies can be very easy to breed, I have had another 2 clutches (larger) laid since this one that I haven’t bothered to incubate (finding new homes for the offspring will probably be more of a challenge Laughing

). My pair a still young and I have done nothing to encourage breeding other then to feed them and provide plenty of nesting options.

Well, second last egg hatched out early this morning at day 93. The last remaining egg still looks good but shows no sign of hatching anytime soon, I will continue to incubate it until it hatches or goes bad.
