california king eggs/ how long to hatch?

griffindor Jun 10, 2004 03:03 PM

This is my first year breeding kings, so I have no idea. The eggs on top have gone moldy, but there are a few on the bottom of the cluch that still look good. It's been over 70 days now and I'm getting worried.

How are they being incubated and at what temps? Our's here typically hatch between 55-65 days with temps averaging between 80-84 degrees.

Last year my cal king eggs went exactly 60 days, incubated between 78 and 80 the first 20 or so days, 80 and 82 the second 20 days, and between 82 and 84 degrees the last 20 or so days.

The Apalachicola eggs I incubated last year hatched at 51 days, but were at 100 the 12 hours before they began to hatch, and also were incubated between 82 and 86.
