    Tiny crack in incubated egg

    We are on day 9 of incubation for quail. I noticed that one has a small crack and I candled it, and the crack is located on the air sack... Is it better to be on the air sack? Thanks everyone!

    Double yolk incubation

    So I'm incubating coturnix quail eggs and one of the eggs is about 2 times larger than the others.... My question is, can only one yolk be fertilized and not the other? If so what would happen? And I know that I'm taking risks with a double yolker, but a bear ate the majority of my previous...

    Candling

    I set 15 quail eggs yesterday at 7PM in an incubator that's only supposed to hold 12. I was thinking about candling the eggs either the fifth or seventh day that way I can discard any that are infertile. Which would be better? Can I see pictures of candling on the 5th day and 7th day? Thank you! :)

    What to do with male quail

    So I think I've come to the conclusion that I have all males. I vent sexed them and they all have that little bulb thing. I successfully hatched 8 baby tibetan coturnix quail 6 months ago and they all are male! I know many of the bloggers on "backyard chickens" use the birds for meat but I just...

    Quail mating season

    When are coturnix quails mating season? My males have been doing their mating call lately and also I have found foam in the males poop. If a male mates with a female, will that female lay eggs? I'm using natural lighting so it hasn't yet reached a full 14 hours for them to lay yet. Im really...

    Help! One chick has hatched...

    One baby quail has hatched but the rest have only pipped... I'm afraid if I take it out, the humidity will drop and kill the others. How long can a baby stay in the incubator? I'll be at school for 7 hours and I think it hatched in the middle of the night.

    Brinsea mini advance review

    So far it is day 9 of incubation for my coturnix Tibetan quail eggs. The incubator has NEVER gone above 99.6 or below 99.5!!! It is amazing!
