    Extremely late coturnix quail hatch

    I didn't, only because it is a brand new digital incubator. It has a fan, so shouldn't have cold spots either. I heard low temperature can delay the hatch, but eggs still moving and progressing on day 23 sounds crazy.

    Extremely late coturnix quail hatch

    I am incubating 56 quail eggs at 99.5%. 1 was born on day 18. 4 were born on day 19. 1 was born on day 20. One more was born today but died. Today is day 23. I opened up the incubator to call it quits. I gently rolled all the eggs around. One is now cut most the way around. It and a few...

    Topic of the Week - Incubating eggs

    My incubator is a forced air, and has 2 outside channels. The fan and wires almost sit on the floor in the middle, so I cannot just add water in the middle. I did add 3 additional cups in the middle where I could squeeze them in to increase the surface area, but still cannot get above 65%.

    Topic of the Week - Incubating eggs

    Just bought a new incubator. Test run was great with humidity around 50-55%. Doing mock lock down now, and I cannot get the humidity above 65% with 3 additional cups under the chicken floor. Dome has lots of moisture on it. Any tips, or should I be okay? Quail eggs will arrive in 2 weeks to...

    quail incubation humidity

    Putting water into mine always initially raises the humidity up to around d 70%, but it stabilizes back to my goal of 50%-55% within a few hours. I try to go 75%+ during lock down.
