    Quail eggs pipping

    Ok I just took the eggs out and cracked them. All infertile no growth atall. I am pretty pleased with my homemade incubator. 5 eggs hatched out of 6 fertile ones. I'm going to order another dozen and set them I think.

    Quail eggs pipping

    I had trouble candling the eggs as they're mottled. I will leave them in tonight and see if there are any signs in the morning. I didn't candle them from the start so they could potentially be infertile. However I did see 1 rock slightly

    Quail eggs pipping

    Can still only see 3 pipped I just sprayed the space around the eggs avoiding the pipes holes. The humidity has risen to 67% and instantly heard chicks churping again. Fingers crossed I am going to wake up to a bator full of healthy chicks. I'm in the UK it's now 19.00

    Quail eggs pipping

    I'm a bit concerned 3 have pipped the one that pipped first which was rocking and I could hear the chick in through the bator has stopped any movement noise. I last heard it at 13.00. Will it be resting or has something happened. My humidity is 55% should I mist the eggs?
