Hi Steve
If one pair produced all males, or mostly males, I would understand that. But I got fertile eggs from 6 females that year and over 90% were males. Only one female was from the same clutch as my male. The others came from another source, double hets, supposedly Lazik stock. If you want to try the experiment you need to incubate at 85 degrees, not 83. I know 2 degrees shouldn't matter, but that was what mine were incubated at that year.
Eggs from my same male and his het clutchmate were incubated at lower temps last year and the sex ratio was more like 50%. I had given all the other females to my son, so did not use them last year.
