    Problem with hatching, starts piping and then stops n dies

    day 17 today. But most of the eggs were piping yesterday morning when i checked them. And there was no further piping along any shells, I've only opened the incubator once to remove the already hatched chick.

    AAARRRRGGGGG Hova-Bator issues

    As long as your temp goes back up fast then don't worry. The internal temp of the eggs wont drop enough to worry about, unless the temp in the incubator takes long to warm bak up.

    Hatching Quail Eggs Under Hens

    tried that once and it didn't work, they all got smashed. But a while ago I hatched 3 Quail eggs under a pigeon, worked out well. Just have to check then to make sure you take them out on time, otherwise the baby sitter (the pigeon) tries to feed them and then kicks them out.
