Jeff according to what I have read the typical incubation period is 55 to 65 days. So I hope every one is ok. I used 88 as a temp on a helix. Temps varied very little with occasional readings to 89 according to the helix and one time hit 90 and also droped a few times to 86 while I was tinkering around.

So far just two little heads that look fine, but I was kind of surprised to see the heads a few days early.

Although Milo's pipped on day 54 which is one day early, so who knows, I was expecting them to pip after his because he used 89 as a core temp and had similar variations in temps but off my temps by one degree.
