Well I went ahead and put 9 eggs in the incubator. I will candle next weekend and see if I see any development. Let the experiment begin!

Once you remove the courtnix roosters how long will the hens continue to lay fertile eggs? I processed my older roosters 10 days ago keeping a young male in their place that is not yet breeding. Now I have a customer wanting chicks. Would any of their eggs be fertile from the former roosters?

Looking for some true Jumbo Courtnix eggs to incubate. Any available?

Hatch complete. 4 eggs never developed. So 8 out of 9 hatched. I'm happy with that. Especially since I have them sold.

I'm at day 16. 13 eggs due tomorrow. Had 11-12 hatch last time, hoping for similar luck.

10 live chicks out of 12 eggs. Not to bad!

Day 16 and I have 3 eggs whose shells are showing signs of pipping and I hear peeping! Hoping to have 3 hatched by tonight or morning.

Crazy H, my guess wold be Calcium deficiency issues.

My girls are back to giving me 5-6 eggs a day. Still more feathers floating around than usual but at least they are almost back to normal. (7 eggs/day from 8 hens). I had 4 Roos but butchered 1yesterday so down to 3.

It could be the light. I have a small solar light over the cage.

Another question. I have quail hens that are roughly 11wks old and have just stopped laying last 2 days. I'm seeing more feather loss and some are scruffy looking. Could they be molting at this age?

Thank you! That's a great idea. I never wld have thought of it.

So 4 of my 8 eggs hatched. I'm not completely bummed since this was my 1st attempt but I do have 1 issue. #4 hatched almost 24hrs after the other 3 and they are picking on "him". He's not very steady on his feet yet and I'm afraid they r going to hurt him. They are pecking and harassing him...

My eggs are hatching!

Thoughts on incubating eggs from quail who have only been laying a week? Would they be fertile? Should I wait a cpl weeks more to be sure the roosters are "doing their job"?

I got 3 eggs yesterday at 7.5wks old. Hoping for all 8 girls to lay any day now.

My girls are 7 wks old yesterday. Should I be expecting eggs any day? The boys of the same age are showing some foam so I think that would show maturity even though I'm not seeing any mating yet. Thoughts? I'm ready for eggs!

I have used ACV many times as well. Good for animals and us too.

On Saturday I got 1 egg from my 5 girls. Sunday 2 and none since. What's up with that? Ideas? I was so excited thinking Here we go! Saturday night it was cold and snowy but it was 50 yesterday and to be 70 today. Ugh.

I'm sure it's a combo right now of lights and weather. I'm using small solar lights on them but they are not getting a reliable 14 hrs currently. My concern is will they pick up as the days increase in length? They don't seen to be stressed. I know my cage is a little small (24"x24") but there...
