Warning: Graphic descriptions I hatched two quail, fertile egg rate was way low, and they are currently three weeks old. Last week one got injured, she scalped herself somehow. I managed to get the skin back nearly in place and separated her until the wound was better. There were some edges to...

Thank you. I don't think I'm going to attempt to hatch more. I did have a combo hygrometer and thermometer. I knew that I opened it way too much, but the humidity never went down below 55 when I did so I assumed it wasn't going to kill them. I did however check my thermometer. I had the setup...
