Hello!
I hatched around 9 button quails a few months ago (Mid February).
Around two months ago, they started laying eggs, including the two quails I am about to talk about.
About a month and a half ago, we had a problem. One of the quails ended up being sick. She had her feathers puffed up and...
Hello.
I'm hatching button quails. Around 9 hatched 3-4 days ago but I decided to let the rest of the eggs who didn't make it rest in the incubator.
I check today - day 20 (theyre supposed to hatch day 16) - and I hear one of the eggs peeping. I check back 4 hours later, and the chick is still...
Hello!
I'm currently waiting for button quails to hatch.
13 seemed viable at the last candling. This morning, one chick hatched. 3 Other eggs had visible pips. I took the advice of many and decided not to remove the chick from the incubator. However, the little guy is wild - an expert soccer...

Hello!
I am hatching chicken eggs in a Little Giant Still air incubator at a constant 99.5˚ (I know its low).
Today is the expected hatch day (Day 21, 100% positive it is day 21). I decided to candle my eggs and I was surprised. All of the chicks (5) seem tiny! There is a yellow see-through...
I know its not okay to take the egg out of lockdown, but i was very curious. I saw online that the chick at this stage should be completely filling the entire egg. However, 1/4 of the egg (from the small end), light passes through as it were egg white. I am concerned for candling on day 18...
