    why would a fully dev. chick die; the membrane was hard for me to get

    I was doing the lower humidity and then raising it as people said I should - so it wasn't like one day 45 the next 70 and such - it was more in the 50 range then I upped it with the sponges... I am so completely confused!

    why would a fully dev. chick die; the membrane was hard for me to get

    checked an egg, membrane was HARD to get through but chick was fully developed, looked like it could have walked had it's eyes been open - there was still some yolk or other fluid but not much - Would a chick alive, be moving when we candled? Or, as soon as we opened would a live but dying...

    Candle Q

    I have to tell you, I didn't notice.... would the air cell go up or down? OMG I may have placed it down wrong. I am an idiot. It was heavier for sure but I had no idea if it was "dead" or if it was a bobwhite waiting to be born. If even ONE hatch out of 42 I will be thrilled and call him "Noah"...

    Candle Q

    I candled today - we are at the "less than" home stretch meaning, they should hatch today or tomorrow (at the LATEST) Well, most eggs had what looked like a small black blob in them and not viable. however, a couple were so "dark" that we could not candle them at all. What does that mean? I can...

    what is the longest you ever waited for a Bobwhite quail to hatch?

    Asking because I think I have 42 duds. I am scared they are dead. Today is technically day 25 and nothing. On a couple I saw what looks like a pencil like line in a weird circle but not like what pipping photos I saw look like. This sucks If there is any true hope, please give it but - if...

    bobwhite quail issues HELP

    Why is it that one should not help it out of it's shell? Is there a benefit to it breaking out on it's own? How does it harm them?

    bobwhite quail issues HELP

    OK got the quail eggs on March 6th in the afternoon - put in incubator. Counted that as day one. Today is March 30, which is now day 25 I have a few eggs that have what looks like a small pencil line circle now but NOT the pipping type photos I've seen at all. I did have a time maybe on the...

    pictures of "pipping"??? anyone?

    I was told a pip is the cracking of the egg initially- I assumed a peep was the sound. I'm new at this so I have no clue!

    Today is day 23, Bobwhite Quail eggs - nothing yet?

    Tonight is technically the beginning of "day 23"...nothing yet. Should I be concerned? Worried as we did have a power outage and the eggs were down to 80 for a couple of hours on and off (we used a generator that we know would not last the whole night to at least heat them a bit...on and off...
