First Time Incubating eggs

[Grind Hard Farm]

Today we got 18 quail eggs from a local seller. We are using a Bobmail incubator. I hope some people will be interested because I would like to share updates as well as get some support for this . We will also be incubating eggs from our flock, white-laced Wyandotte(s) bred with our full-grown black australorp rooster. We put both the quail and our hens' eggs in the incubator at 99 F with the humidity at 50%. This is so exciting!

72 hours (Day 3)
See some development, although the phone doesn't capture it. I checked only 2 eggs. I hope you can see the embryo forming, at least

p.s. I couldn't really see inside the quail eggs, I guess the light isn't too bright? But I feel like if our hens' eggs are developing then the quail are too

My silkie eggs show development on day 3 too. It's very cool. But I usually only see the eye and then veins later on.
