>>Congrats, Toby. They're looking good..

>>Did you incubate them on the shelf with no extra heat?

>>Like Gidi said, some of the Chinese and Korean dione have the longer incubation times. That is opposed to some of the others with very short incubations, like the Ukrainian I kept at one time, 13 days.

>>PS: Gidi, do you have pics of your Korean dione?

Thanks Terry!

Not exactly. I incubated them in a rack with back heat from heat tape. They were situated at about the middle of the shelf, and temps were mostly between 76 - 78 degrees F, with night time drops to 74 F. Last year's clutch was incubated at ~ 78 - 80 F, with no night time drop, and hatched in about 27 days.
