    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 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...

    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...

    Quail eggs in a turner (not a small quail turner)

    A standard egg turner..... Do I put cotton in the egg cup to help keep the quail eggs a bit stable if I haven't purchased an actual egg turner specific for the smaller eggs???

    what does the "egg carton" method mean at hatching???

    I have heard people say that on day say, 18, they use the egg carton method.... does this mean when they take the turner out they put each egg in a carton to hatch?

    what is a "wet bulb" reading?

    We have normal F and C thermometers... is this "wet bulb"??? I am confused. Have bobwhite quail and it says 99-102 degrees but "wet bulb" reading should be only in the mid 80s??? How do I know! Have Little Giant and they give two regular thermometers now - they said this is a new thing they...

    a dead baby? Please help me with this..

    We broke two eggs - like over easy - nothing at all, were told it was that those eggs were not fertilized. So we open a third "heavy" one and it was a little chick, that looked very formed, eyes and all, but just dead... was it perhaps a live but when we opened it died or was it already dead -...

    And do you think that electronic is OK to have in the Little Giant or, another type? I have heard the Little Giant one is junk so I am looking to purchase and wanted advice... PS.

    grrrr a bit mad; didn't know... should have come here FIRST

    I didn't know about this group - I had an ebay incubator and eggs and it just said to fill up a leg of the bater with water...so that is what we did. I think all along it was now too low of humidity. I have started with more which someone said is about right (slight humidity on plastic) and wish...
