so long incubating...

What temperature did you incubate them at?

 

[salty dog]

75

That's warm to take so long to hatch.

 

[salty dog]

maybe a 5° degree fluctuation in season....70 in winter 75-78 in summer

Still shouldn't have taken that long IMHO.
Doesn't mean they won't be ok though.

they hatch healthy..bigger than 6 month incubatation...100% success....... faster hatching usually have some weak ones that don't make it...all of these make it

Congratulations! I'm still curious why they took so long, though. What is that, an incubation period of just about 13 months? Do your clutches usually take around this long? It's likely due to that drop in temperature you had them incubating under during the winter months.

some hatch 6-8 months which is typical...others longer...in same space..
