(Day 16) like 20 yesterday and 5 lastnight/early this morning. I've never had them hatch early before always perfectly on time lol so...

    Coturnix quail eggs not hatching

    So I bought a new forced air incubator, set it up and let it run for a few days and put my eggs in it. The eggs are from a breeder I've hatched from before with reasonable rates, 30 total. The temp has stayed at 99.5-100.5 F, the humidity was at 40% until day 14 when I removed the turner then...

    How can you tell when looking at a black sex linked chick? I've got someone who says they will take the boys and trade for a few black sex linked pullets
