Hello there... I am raising bobwhites also,we started off with 20 baby's over time we ended up with 10 hens a 4 bobs.... Now we have 20 hens and 8 males, i just sold a bunch of 4 week olds, I started setting bout 120 eggs at a time I have some due for lock down on Wednesday and some sep. 10th...
We rescued 3,two from our pond, they just came rite up to us,the other one we got from the nest box, I seen there was ants crawling up the post and was gonna clean it out, found one that one was pipping out and the ants were attacking it,opened it up and he was alive !!
He's a week old and doing...
Well,I had incubator probs, didnt know it but apparently the temp went up to 104... Out of 84 , 25 hatched out the day they were supposed to go in the hatcher...... Crazy, needless to say I haven't started another batch yet, need a better thermostat or just a new bator !
There were 20 infertile...
Well so far so good, though I did go to turn of the turner on my 21st day.... And one little guy was was out !
Moved to the hatcher and noticed several pipping and starting to zip ..... Called my breeder that we get our eggs from and he thinks I may have it to hot..
It's fluctuated between 98...
