I decided I will try again :D Just ordered 12 fertile button quail eggs! I'm going to try and hatch them in my snake tank again :)

No unfortunately not, turned out it was just I rotton egg :(

Nope, just checked and still nothing, I held the box up to my ear and couldn't hear anything either :( Starting to think none of them are gonna hatch :(

Still nothing :( Is it too risky to open the box/incubator quickly and see if there's any sign of pipping?

Today Is hatching day. Its quite hard to see in the box as its got a red lid, I can't see any eggs moving. Is this normal? How likely is it they will hatch today? (if any do) :(

So all my eggs are very close together in my homemade incubator, I'm really worried now, What if it does hatch and the chick can't get out because of the other eggs being so close?! :(

Thanks, I obviously went wrong somewhere when I was working them out. So I will mix up those ingredients and crush/grind it up. Then I will also give them some dried mealworms and boiled egg :) Thanks again :)

Another Question... Is there a way to tell if chicks are male or female or will I just have to wait and see if they lay eggs or not?

Hi, thanks that's very helpful :) I tried to see if I could see any movement in the dark egg but my hands were shaky so I couldn't tell.

Another question.. How likely is it the quail will hatch (if any do hatch) on there due date? (Saturday)

Hello, I have lots of questions which I hope you can help me with :) Firstly, My quail eggs have been in my homemade incubator for about 16 days now, I candled them for the last time yesterday, out of eleven eggs 9 are light, I can see the yolk, 1 is half dark, and 1 is fully dark I can barely...
