    6 ducklings so far, and at least 3 more have pipped! I had to open the incubator, they were all wedged between the other eggs and the lid. I threw a warm wet sponge in when I opened it, so hopefully no damage was done.

    You joke, but that is how I ended up with three incubators. Never mix NyQuil and eBay. I didn't know how many eggs I was getting until they arrived!

    So far the count is 11 quail, and one Polish chick that is 2 days early. There were 2 quail dead in the incubator and trampled so I couldn't tell why they didn't make it. But aren't they adorable!!

    Were they shipped or local? 50% is a good rate for shipped eggs. They might have been fertile but damaged in transit so they never developed. Everyone I've ever bought eggs from has a disclaimer.

    Quails and chickens are in lockdown, ducks still have a week to go. And I have some ebay eggs split between my broody Silkie and my brinsea. Yes, I have three different incubators going. I have a problem. Lol But in my defense I haven't hatched anything since October. :)

    I'm at day 14 with my quail eggs and I put them in lockdown! But... When I took them out of the turners I I never plugged it in!!! So they have never turned. How bad is that? I can't candle them, they are too tiny and too spotted to see anything through, but I can tell a weight difference, so I...

    I've ordered from Stromberg 3 times now. They shipped on Tuesday and were here at 6:30 Thursday morning. We are a rural post office, so most things take an extra day- but the chicks didn't! And they called me a 6:30 am! Which I believe is when thier trucks come in.

    Best classroom brooder setup?

    Hatching in my classroom is what got me hooked on hatching last year! (I teach first) I used a medium sized clear tote, on a table for best viewing for my littles. I used an Eco Glow brooder, so as not to have the problems with a heat lamp. I kept the lid on, but cracked so they got air, but...

    Careful! That is how I got started! What grade? I teach first and my kids LOVED it! I can't wait to do it again this year. I believe we do eggs in April. :)
