I have three eggs from my female's first fertile clutch. Two are growing, one is green (yuk!). They were laid on 8/14/07. There is significant growth inside the eggs (not in the greenie). I am incubating at 84F in a hovabator incubator with vermiculite. I spray once or twice a week depending if the vermiculite is too dry or too damp. The second batch she laid on 10/14/07 (like clockwork) are actually developing just as fast if not faster.

Is this normal? What is the longest incubation period on ercord for Redfoots, if I can't get babies anytime soon, maybe I can get into the Guinness Book of World Records! Patience, patience, patience...

Thanks.

This is a pic of the parents of the eggs in the incubator.

Hey Allegra,

I just hatched out 2 Brazilian redfoots last month. One finally pipped on 189 days and the other pipped on 190 days. So, do not give up yet. And you are right...PATIENCE is the key.

Oh and if I can remember how to upoad my pictures, I will post some pics of the babies.

I had one last year hatch at 203 days that was kept at the same
temps and humidity as cluth mates hatched at 159 days.

I am confused...do you mean Brazilian Cherry Head?

Michael,

If you are referring to me than yes, a Brazilian redfoot is a Cherryhead.
