    Cold eggs

    Glad to hear!!! I was so worried I’d stuffed it up! I’ll candle them in a few days and hopefully they are still alive!!

    Cold eggs

    You think? The incubator is back on an up up temp. I really hope your right I’ve had such bad luck with chicken eggs in the past.

    Cold eggs

    I just woke up this morning to find we had a blackout in the night and that the incubator was down to 20deg c when I’m came in again in the morning the eggs were on day 6. I touched the eggs and they are all stone cold 😫 is there any chance they will survive or will they all be dead?

    Nah not gasping for air, i have been massaging it’s crop every time I check on it. Seems not much better today top is still very full. But it doesn’t seem distressed or as sick looking today.

    Quail with split skin next to swollen crop.

    Yeah I gave it water all day and no food and didn’t empty. The crop is firm but not hard can push on it a little. No better this morning either. It must have eaten the bedding 😩 Why are quail babies so stupid, I don’t want to put this one down too.

    Quail with split skin next to swollen crop.

    I had to put it down sadly it started bleeding more and staggering around. But I have a second one with a very large crop too. I’m using wood shavings which I’m wondering if it’s swallowed one. I’m switching to paper towel I think. I’m feeding them a game bird started...

    Quail with split skin next to swollen crop.

    I have a 3-4 day old quail chick that has a massively swollen crop with a rather large split/laceration at the edge of its crop. I came out this morning and this was how it was. Can a swollen crop split a chicks skin? It looks rather miserable, what should I do? Can a large cut mend or is it...

    ➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

    It was over 70% most of the time but it accidentally went dry in the middle of hatching at one stage and got down to 40% when I was filling up the trays. It’s a new incubator so getting use to it. Could it going dry have done that?

    Turned the incubator off today, had a few eggs that didn’t hatch. My hatch was 28 in total but sadly 1 had died it looks like it’s tummy wasn’t closed up properly or something not sure. It had a shiny patch if wet looking skin on its tummy.
