I have a Mack Snow and a Super snow blizzard that gave me 6 great babies so far. Four of those babies are males. I was incubating them at 86-88 degrees F which should cause 50 50 f/m. Does anyone that has experience with Snows know what i should incubate them at to get females? I have the last four eggs at 83 now.

86 is the midway point but 87 and 88 is going to give you males. The first month is when sex is determined so if your temps were high during the first month then that sealed the deal. 83 should give you females.

Your temps are two high for a 50/50 mix. Drop down to a consistent 84-86 for a better mix. Also sometimes snows dont always temp sex how you planned. Joys of breeding
