    Assisting without an internal pip...

    Hello! I know this is a super controversial topic and that there are very strong opinions about whether or not to assist in general. I'm asking specifically about what to do if the chick has been trying to break through the inner membrane for at least 24 hours. Stats: - Local chicken egg...

    Cracked egg sealed with wax... advice?

    So through a series of unfortunate events, one of my incubating quail eggs got pretty badly dented (bracubation, if you know you know), but the membrane wasn't broken. I sealed it with candle wax, but couldn't get the dent out without breaking the membrane. This happened day 5 and it's day six...

    Quail eggs in different stages of development

    I'm probably jumping the gun because it's only day four, but I have a pretty powerful egg candler and of my 16 coturnix eggs I can see clear vasculature in 3, darkening in 5 more, and then some eggs that are barely not glowing, but still not as far along.

    Hatching a quail egg in my bra

    So this is crazy, but I've seen on here that it can work, so here goes nothing. My incubator has been a little inconsistent the first day of having eggs in it. My infrared thermometer read egg temperatures ranging from 98 to 102.2 degrees F, and I have more eggs coming in a few days. So...

    New Member in Vermont!

    Incubator temp vs independent thermometer temp

    Hi All! I'm hatching Coturnix quail for the first time and the built-in thermometer and the separate thermometer/hygrometer are saying two different things. I'm not sure which one to trust so I've kinda compromised... The incubator thermometer is set to 38.8C (101.8F), and the separate...
