    After hatch - Into the brooder or Leave in incubator to wait for others to finish hatching?

    I pulled my dry guys out every 12hrs by taking the incubator into the bathroom, turned the hot water on in the shower and filled the room with steam first so as not to lose humidity once I open the incubator...

    Just set 120 more eggs tonight.... I didn't have much luck with the first lot after assuming the incubator would be simply set and forget straight from the factory. I didn't realise just how off the temp and humidity actually was. But I am alot more confident this time after spending 2 weeks...

    Finally starting to hatch mid day 20... Discovered the other day that my incubator temps were 2.5 degrees out and I was actually incubating at 35 degrees celcius so have calibrated it and ordered a new therm and hygro. My 1st attempt is a learning experience anyway, but I am stoked :)

Thought I'd go get a thermometer and test the incubator and it read 2 degrees lower, so I had to calibrate it. I should of did that in the beginning I guess....So almost day 18 at 35.5 degrees...

    Does anybody NOT like quail meat?

    I love it, tried it many times from a local gourmet butcher and only recently decided I should try to breed my own. I reckon it tastes alot better then chicken BUT I think that has more to do with their size and how a sprinkle of herbs and spices really stands out more on a smaller bird...

    Day 14 and just locked down my eggs. I put the eggs on paper towel and filled every water chamber but the humidity is only at 49% (hoping it raises over the next few hours).....Getting excited already :) ETA: Had to remove the paper towel, no matter what I tried (jar lid with water, wetting the...
