Aussie Finch Forum

Hi all,

What temperature should I incubate Gouldian eggs at? I have two in my incubator currently, and candelling reveals both are alive. I can still see the chicks moving inside but we're edging towards day 18 now. I keep the temp at 37.5C but I'm wondering if that's too low, hence the longer incubation period than what would normally be expected.

Sorry no idea. I don;t know of anyone who has incubated finch eggs accept under finches.

If the eggs are still doing well i wouln't change anything, just remember to increase humidity at the 12-14 day mark. Its going to be extremely hard handrearing from the egg.............

Thanks for the advice, both. I have two that are currently 6 weeks old, hand reared from egg as they were tossed the day they hatched. It was hard work but completely manageable and well worth it.

Good on you for putting the effort in.
