Hey all haven't posted here in a while, but please, speedy repleis appreciated. I chekced on my fat tails today (a pair that's been together since last year with no signs of mating, although they get along fine) and there are two eggs - they were very well buried, but the verm. was only slightly damp...not ideal, I know (again, I had no idea they would lay eggs for me!) The eggs are not totally puckered, and I've sealed off the lay box from the parents and re-moistened the verm. I brushed some verm., off the tops of the eggs (there are two) to get some more air circulation - I'm keeping the laybox in with the parents till tomorrow when we get the incubator out of storage and running. What next? Any suggestions on getting these in good condition before i pop them in the incubator (I'm thinking at 85 degrees, yes?) Thanks all! I know AFT's are tricky, but I'd like to give these eggs a fighting chance! -Shannon
