57 days old

Andy Robertson · 07-08-2013, 08:22 AM

Hi everyone,
any thoughts on my Herc egg on day 57, incubated at 28.5-29.5c 80% hum? Thought they would be out by now, but still waiting.

Cheers
Andy

Looks ok to me at those temps I think it will take longer to hatch I have had THB not hatch till day 73

Prolly approx. 60 days for herc`s at those temps.

Thanks guy,s

Need some more help, I have another three herc eggs all fertile, hydrometer meter just fell onto two eggs giving them slight hair line cracks, these are only 20 days old. What's the best way to cover the hair line crack?
Absolutely gutted as I tend to leave the eggs alone once I know they are fertile, had four different types of thermometer/hydrometer s in there and was checking there readings to compare with my new one I bought today.
Thanks
Andy

Just checked my Herc egg day 61, very clear at the top this morning and you could see movement very clearly, tonight there is no clear bit at the top and what looks to be a very small bit of yellow sac at the bottom. Hopefully here in the next couple of days!
As for the two eggs I accidentally cracked the other day, they are doing fine after glueing them and again you can see the embro moving very clearly. Also had another two clutches in the last 24 hrs so busy weekend.
Thanks Dan for the advice on the super glue.
