Excellent news Tim and Robin

Make sure the incubation temperature does not get above 80F. About 70F will get you males and 78-79F will get you females.

Thanks Danny! I have the incubator at 75F. Maybe I will turn it down some. I know males are hard to come by!! For now, I should be able to do 70-72F. As it warms up over the summer, that may not be as easy to do!
