    Discarding non fertilized eggs from incubator

    JetCat You are most likely correct as I have read other posts supporting what you said however MeepBeep and OlGrayMare made important comments on the previous postings on this thread. I think it is important enough to try. Thanks

    Discarding non fertilized eggs from incubator

    EXCELLENT IDEA! I will use the insulative foam when the eggs were shipped to me, drop them into the holes and candle them with that. Yippee another good idea.

    Jap incubating own eggs

    Using the expression "Jap Quails or Jap is OFFENSIVE!

    Inbreeding with coturnix quail.

    DK Newbie Please call Robbie and discuss this "Research report" with him, I'm sure he could clarify it for us. I believe what he told me because he breeds 12000 quail and must keep accurate records of deformities, efficiency of egg laying and hatching numbers.

    Discarding non fertilized eggs from incubator

    lazy gardener, thanks for bringing the "smell" to my attention. This morning I smelled something afoul, hopefully all is OK but like I posted, I will start candling tomorrow morning. This is my first time incubating and feel like an expectant father. Also, I feel more confidant since you...

    Discarding non fertilized eggs from incubator

    Thank you Meep Beep and Ol Grey Mare, I don't know how long it will take to candle 119 quail eggs but I hope the cold air and humidity change won't harm the eggs. I will do it as fast as I can. Thanks again. Luvemal

    Discarding non fertilized eggs from incubator

    Is it imperative to remove non-fertilized eggs from incub? I was thinking of not candling the eggs to avoid violating the integrity of the incubator - avoiding to remove the top for fear of changing the temperature/humidity. Today is day 8 after setting. I was going to candle the eggs...

    Can you candle quail eggs?

    Howdy, I set my eggs Nov 7th, today is Nov 14th and will start candling my 120 eggs tomorrow (day8). Is it imperative I discard the eggs that do not candle? I was thinking of not candling the eggs so that I will not violate the temp/humidity in the incubator by opening the lid of the incubator...

    Inbreeding with coturnix quail.

    I had the very same question so I phoned Robbie and asked him (1337-257-0118). As far as Coturnix Quail are concerned Pharoah Quail, He told me you can inbreed 5 times without any problems. Robbie as far as I am concerned is the EXPERT. YOUR POSTING SAID the fertility drops significantly...

    Miller Mftr. Little Giant INCUB. CUSTOMER SERVICE is A+++

    The set temp and Miller therm is still spot on, the only fluctuations I am getting are the humidity readings. But not significant enough to worry about at this time. I'll start to be more concerned when the humidity is supposed to be higher for embryo development. I have to find out how to...
