Yesterday was 100 days and first Eastern clutch hasn't hatched. I worked at keeping incubation temperatures lower this year. Sometime they spiked over 80 degrees but were usually ranged between 72 - 78. This is painful.

Steve-
What is the typical length of incubation for indigo clutches at those temperatures?
Best of luck, I hope they hatch soon.

I don't know. In the past indigos have taken 90 - 95 days to hatch at warmer temps.

I'm sure the waiting is very tough. Good luck Steve - please post some pics of the new critters - I'd love to see 'em.
Take care,
