Incubating for M/F

WanderingLost Oct 23, 2005 08:35 PM

I was just wondering, those of you who incubate your eggs for a certain sex, what is the "success rate" i guess you could call it that. In other words, how many hatched are actually the sex you were incubating for? I was just wondering if incubating for gender actually worked. Thanks.

Fat Tails are pretty easy to breed. You can get a pretty high sucess rate when it comes to hatching, and if you're incubating for gender, its nearly a guarantee you'll get the sexes you want. In case you don't know, 82-84 for females, 85-86 for a mix, and 87-88 for males. One degree higher or lower, and theres still a good chance of getting the genders you want.
