Right now I have 21 in the incubator with several of my females showing signs of potential egg laying, fingers crossed! The oldest eggs have been in there for 110 days, so hopefully I will have pips of my own by the end of next month!! :D

Its pretty kool when they start hatching, You just never know what to expect. You are in prime redfoot country with the humidity where you live. How many females you have popping out eggs

Yes, the weather is great with the humidity and all, we havent had temps lower than 39 the whole winter so its been very mild compared to the rest of the country.

My comment yesterday was quite spot on because today one of my new favorite females laid 3 perfect, large eggs!! I have a very large group of redfoots now because I just recently bought out a guy wanting to get out of redfoots and he gave me an absolutely fantastic deal. The female that laid was from his group which has only been in my care for a week and a half now, so I am quite ecstatic as you can quite imagine!
