    ➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

    Alright, so egg 15 did hatch, but it was weak and died pretty quickly poor thing. So I have 14 healthy birds, all 3 with leg issues are now corrected and strong. So set 20, 18 were viable, 2 quit early on. 1 DIS, 1 hatched but died, 14 healthy birds. I’m very happy with those numbers.

    I know I should have, i knew where they were in the turner but once they started playing egg ball it was a guessing game. If it’s one of those eggs then it would technically be pipped on day 19 and zipping on 20. It’s furiously working on it so I guess we will see if I wake up to a chick tomorrow.

    So it’s day 21, I had 2 eggs left in the incubator. Was going to turn the incubator off last night at end of day 20, well when I came home from work and peeked I had an external pip on one! Bird is still zipping it’s way out, so hopefully I will have a new chickie in the am! (I did add 2 eggs...

    Also, for anyone that processes their extra birds or rooster, what age or weight do you generally do it at?

    Alright 14, of The 18 have hatched. 2 of them were early quitters, I’m giving the last 2 eggs another day but they haven’t even internally pipped yet so not sure. Still I’m very happy with 14 of 16 hatching! These are the eggs from my original set from Kansas City quail that were shipped and I...

    That isn’t a very nice way to ask a group of people that actually keep and hatch quail... Personally, I like the eggs, especially for baking and scrambled. I like the meat, and while they are smaller I can raise more quail meat for less money than it would cost to do broilers. I got into them...

    Alright guys, today is the “official” hatch day. I woke up to 7 chicks in the incubator, 1 has hatched, 2 are in the process of zipping. (So 10 total so far) plus multiple more have external pips. I did help one that is zipping, because it’s been zipping since last night (was about half way...

    Checked the quail 40 minutes ago and nothing but slight pips in 8 eggs I could see, just went back in and saw one just hatching and then got to sit and watch a second hatch right after! Impatiently waiting for more to come, brooder is ready but I am limiting opening as much as I can and I’m not...

    I have an external pip! Just a tiny tiny noticeable crack and some wobbling in the egg that’s right up front. Hoping to wake up to a chick or some significant zipping.

    Day 16 for me. 20 went into the incubator, pulled 2 eggs at day 10 for no development at all. So 18 total in lockdown but 2 looked like they quit, 16 that actually looked like they were going to hatch and I got to see multiple wiggling babies. Very excited! Hoping to get multiple healthy babies...

    I’m back! Going to add eggs in a few hours once the incubator is up to temp. Question, can I add another 3 eggs tomorrow around 4 if I put them in today around 12? Will it make much of a difference if they go into lock down a day earlier with the rest? I know some do staggered hatching but I...

    ➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

    Alright guys I called it. Out of 15 eggs, 4 were clears. 2 died after attempting to hatch, 2 died halfway through development, and 7 hatched. I know things I want to do differently now. I had planned to order another set of eggs but the current wait is something like 6 weeks from order. So I...

    Alright everyone. I think I’m probably done, just maybe 1 more egg. Official hatch day was Monday, but I’m gonna leave the incubator going probably until tomorrow if no progress. Of 13 set only 4 eggs are left in the incubator. I was almost positive 1 I set had stopped developing early on but...

    I decided to investigate the dead chick further because I was worried with the heat and everything it could be bad for the other eggs to leave it in there. So I removed it, it was definitely dead. I removed part of the shell to examine and I think it might have ruptured its yolk sack some how...

    Hello everyone! I have 5 healthy chicks in the brooder, 3 eggs going. One egg just pipped this morning and is going strong. The other two however, aren’t looking too good. One zipped partially yesterday morning and I moistened the exposed membrane last night and this morning when I removed the...

    I got to watch one hatch finally! It looked so close to hatching and my husband and I spent over an hour watching it lol. We lost our power temporarily so I put a warm rice bag in the brooder and a few minutes later I came to find a chick just very heavily asleep with its feet hanging off the edge.

    I have 4 healthy chicks so far. From what I can tell 3-4 more eggs going at various stages and it’s only halfway through day 18 so I’m hoping to get even more. I have 2 eggs that pipped closer to the pointy end of the shell. One is actively zipping and the other isn’t but I can see it breathing...

    They were really gnarly looking with all the toes curled a significant amount, but they already look much better and now are much less curled and the little one is active. I just don’t want them in pain or having problems, cosmetically I could care less if they have perfect feet.

    ➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

    Hey everyone! I woke up to lots of peeps and have 3 babies and more shaking and pipped. However, one has curled toes on both feet, I believe it’s the one that took a long time to hatch because I mentally noted I would have to assist it if I woke up and it was still stuck and it’s egg is in the...
