When I started I didnt incubate the eggs and nighttime temps were as low as 65 ..daytime as high as 75 ..it took the eggs nearly 90 days to hatch . The lower temps will certainly take longer to hatch ..I also wonder if there isnt a point(number of day) where the eggs simply dont contain enough nutrient to contine. I would suggest looking at some of the homemade incubator ideas online . 62 is below anyones recomendation

Low to mid 70's with fluctuating temps is good.
