Managed to save the chick by placing them inside a cup which I had lined with socks. It "forced" them to stand up and within a couple of hours they could walk (they were a bit poorly balanced but figured it out). Now he is perfectly fine. Last one also hatched whilst this was happening! So all...

Update: Currently at work but my missus says that one chick has been stuck on his side for the last 4 hours or so. She refuses to pick them up so will have to wait until I back in about 6 hours. Assuming I can just place him in a sock inside a cup to help him stand properly.

Day 18 @ 7:00 at least six have hatched, I think it is eight though! Out of 10, so far pretty good!

I'm even considering keeping it, considering how much it fluctuated temps and humidity I'm so surprised chicks are hatching like they are

Day 17 @ 23:00 four chicks!!!!!!

(possible to move this thread to incubating section?)

Day 17 @ 18:02 our first chick hatched! Day 17 @ 21:00 we now have 3 Chickie's!!!!

Maintaining Humidity Now this was a completely other kettle of fish but once I figured it out it was easy to perfect. So I started around 45-55% humidity based of a websites description I found. I don't believe this is the right humidity to use now though. I would recommend to stay between 30...

Maintaining Temperature I quickly learned that this incubator cannot maintain a continuous temperature. As I knew this prior to receiving the item I knew that I would want to try different approaches on how to help maintain it. Firstly, I used towels to cover the sides and bottom and even the...

Disclaimers: only hatching one batch, only hatching quail, using the auto turner. Okay, so I heard this incubator is a bit rubbish so I was very curious on how well it would perform. It cost me £53 from Amazon UK. Those in the UK probably know it's pretty hard to source incubators, especially...
