    Tough membrane on Bobwhite eggs?

    As soon as I see them I collect them, I can't imagine they are more than 2-3 days old?

    Tough membrane on Bobwhite eggs?

    I have two females that are laying, these eggs are darn near impossible to breach, the shell breaks fine but the membrane is so tough by the time I get it open the yolk is ruined. I am feeding gamebird starter at 24% protein. Thanks for any replies.

    Yikes, should the vent hole have been open all along? I had a hard time figuring it out from the instructions. Its open now with a wet sponge inside.

    Keeping humidity up?

    I am using a separate thermometer/hygrometer but it is digital so I didn't do a salt test didn't know if that would damage it. Both units read very close

    Mama Heating Pad in the Brooder (Picture Heavy) - UPDATE

    So, I have 40 Bobwhite eggs incubating and am getting the brooder ready. I am trying to rig a MHP but I have also seen where some say the chicks need guidance to go in and some could not find the cave at night without a light and died Does it make any sense to also run a 75 watt red bulb as well...
