Yep! Sorry I was away This is what I did when I had no Quail Rails! Worx! It could be beneficial to make holes in the sides of the bottles for airflow, which I didnt think of at the time

Thank you.

Photo of the only egg with life that I can see... I really hope it makes it.

The writing ("Mystery") is the name of the hen that laid it.

Bubbles, I am so happy for you as you embark on this hatching adventure.

If you aren't careful, you just might inspire me to hatch out 100 more birds than we need or have room for!

Howdy Alex, & thanks. I will be very careful to not be careful. Set all the eggs!

When I said #9 was zipping 17 hours ago, I think I jinxed it. It still hasn't hatched. Just a big hole. I don't think it can rotate, and I think it will end up a mercy cull.

BUT... 12 others have hatched and are doing well. Couple little issues, but nothing too major. Other than the almost-#9, there is one other possible left in the bator, which will likely not make it either, but I'm happy overall! Not bad for my first quail hatch! 12 out of 16 (3 of which I was doubtful on anyway! - 2 of those were definitely DIS, one turned out to be #12 hatcher.)
