@NTBugtraq , curiously, have you ever tried hatching 28 day ducks, call ducks, Muscovy ducks or peafowl?

"There are members here who have assisted" isn't "many of us"...

But can I ask, have you ever checked whether those assisted chicks laid eggs that resulted in assisted hatches? I don't want to state "survival of the fittest" too strongly, but with something who gestates in 21 days, survival of the fittest does kinda make sense, don't you think? There aren't a lot of traits that breeders care about that matter more than; "Can it hatch?"...

We've had this discussion before, haven't we?? Opinions differ, methods differ, people's values differ, and their goals differ. My eggs, my choice!

I forgot to say what I'm hatching. I currently have 31 quail eggs and 8 silkie/bantam cochin eggs in my Brinsea. Due tomorrow or Saturday. At least 4 quail pips so far!
