    Ah okay, thanks for letting me know! I'm probably just being too worried since they're a little late.

    My California Quail Hatching Adventure!

    Hello! That's great news! I'm still waiting too. I'm on day 23 and no pips yet. But I think I've seen one or two move. Just curious what humidity were you at before lockdown?

    My California Quail Hatching Adventure!

    So I decided to quickly and careful candle the eggs to pick out any bad ones cause I didn't wanna mess around with rotten eggs. So 12 looked pretty good. 10 were duds which were either cracked/unfertilized/barely developed. 2 of the eggs went into the maybe category. 50% good eggs is okay for...

    My California Quail Hatching Adventure!

    Got my mini brooder all set up for them! I'm gonna move them to my large brooder once they're ready. I wanted to use both aspen and paper towels to give them some variety.

    California Quail Incubation HELP!

    Ebay isn't the worst but it definitely be a gamble unless you have good prior experience with the seller. It's really tempting though cause often the eggs on there are cheaper. Purely poultry sells 12 valley quail eggs for 80 dollars, which I think is a bit much. But you get a little more peace...

    California Quail Incubation HELP!

    Congrats! I'm glad you at least had one hatch! From what you're saying it sounds like you're doing what you're supposed to. Though I've heard people say you need to keep your incubator temp at 101 for still air incubators (assuming you have one). But two or three degrees in fluctuation isn't a...

    My California Quail Hatching Adventure!

    I started my California Quail on May 11th (Day 0) and I except them to hatch around the 1st to the 3rd of June. I've done my best to constantly monitor humidity and temp levels using a fancy Bluetooth temperature hygrometer device that works with my phone. I'm basically trying to do this hatch...

    California Quail Incubation HELP!

    Personally, I'm hatching California quail and I try to not candle them unless I'm super excited. I don't know if taking them out and candling will reduce the hatch rate, but I still try to avoid it. You probably already have your answer and I'm sorry if they didn't hatch. It's always very...

    Oh no! Not another newbie!

    Hi everybody! I've read these forums for a while and I decided to make my own account so I may post and share my hatches. Thanks for taking the time to read this! Have a nice day! I mostly raise quail but I wanna get into Ayam cemani's one day. Here are some recent California valley quail eggs...
