    DO I NEED TO HELP?? day 21 quails no hatching

    They didn't make it but I kind of expected after what was said. I'm leaving it a little bit before I try another hatch so I can get a calibrated thermometer etc and be extra prepared for it. Shame they didn't make it but I guess when you interfere that's what you get 🤷‍♀️

    I candled them earlier. Do I need to do it again to assist?

    Well since they're moving it's prob worth a chance at helping them then isn't it? If I leave them a few more days they'll be dead and if I help them now then maybe a slight chance they'll survive. Do you think?

    When would it be a write off? Bout day 25ish or keep checking and when there's no movement

    Is the fact they've not pipped yet a bad sign or would that be normal for a late hatch?

    Won't doing that kill them if too early tho? *too early as in they haven't pipped yet. Or is that safer so when they do pip they have more air? Would I not break the shell cos they're so delicate

    I've got I think 5 quail for sure possibly 9 on day 21 in the incubator, moving slightly during candeling but no pips. I had to check as egg 10 split and started oozing so needed to check what was going on incase that had caused problems for the others. There were another 2 that had slightly...

    Shrink Wrapped Duckling?

    I've moistened mine a little, didn't want to hurt them. Hoping they'll be ok. Thank you. I'll keep a close eye and follow what you did. Fingers crossed 🤞

    Hands on hatching and help

    Can someone please advise. Between 3pm yesterday and 2pm today my ducks pipped, but they've retracted back into the shell, not all the way but I don't know if I should be worried. Put a safety hole in them (i have 4) and hoping they'll be ok.
