Oh! And CONGRATULATIONS Sarah! Keep em warm and dont let em get wet. Use a rodent water bottle, they pick it up very quickly!

Thats how it went for me tha last few times also, get the initial hatch then nothing with the rest, pipped or not. I cracked open eggs, to find fully formed chicks. I think its from humidity too high in the begginning, causing chicks to drown at the end. Thats just my theory, I am testing my...

Umm, Sarah . . . Hope you are ready for those chukars . . . I just candled 26 of my eggs, from randomly all over my incubator, and every single egg was going. Good veins, active embryos. If you go look at yours, you should see the shadow of the embryos swimming around towards one side of the...

Hows everthing coming along Sarah? I have 5 valleys out and about 30-40 coturnix pipping. I cant see the chickens eggs too good, its so crowded in there. Ashlee is missing it, hopefully they will still be hatching tomoro when she gets off work. Kinda cool to "make" a bird in an incubator that...

Got a valley egg pipping . . . it begins!

Quote: Well I dont think it could be both layer and broiler in the same bag. I would use broiler over layer, but Id prolly just go get the right kind . . . preferably gamebird starter(but any gamebird really) or turkey starter. Highest protein as you can get. If you must, ground catfood...

Lol, calm down, take a deep breath, everythings gonna be fine . . . Get your brooder ready, you got 3 days! The food you have will be fine if needed, my chickies didnt even eat or drink the first day. Make sure you sift or grind to get small enuff pieces, I sift myself. That bator sure looks...

Lol, Sarah, your funny! Im eggcited for ya!!! PS- the bator you saw in my living room is all due to hatch monday/tuesday as well, lockdown early saturday . . . My GF made me promise not to let them hatch without her being here to watch . . . howmy goona pull that off

Sometimes, you can feel the chick moving when you pick up an egg, sometimes you can hear it moving by holding the egg to your ear in a quiet room. The first few days or 5, all you can see is that big vein, and it kinda looks like a blood ring sometimes. It can drive ya crazy, thats why its best...

Thankyou very much sir, that is great info to know. I can picture it perfectly in my head from your decription. I have some coturnix due to hatch on monday, I might try this with any unhatched eggs. I think I knew about this already, but thought it was for testing eatin eggs that were out too...

Quote: Please explain this? And the result I would be looking for?

All I really look for is the veins in coturnix . . . Once in a while, you can see the embryo moving, but you only get a window of a few days for this. By your description, you got some good development. Im not even gonna try candling the chukars for another few days, but I bet they are pretty...

Another video response . . . This one has some cussin in it . . .

Video response . . .

Dont woory, low is better than high. Youll be fine. Do be careful if you try to adjust up, as thats where the problems usually come from. Are you sure its not just the bator stabalizing with the eggs in it now? Check your PMs . . .

Im just stayin out of that one . . .

Quote: I shoulda got ahold of you, but you had the 100 being shipped in, didnt guess youd need anymore. Like I said, I can hook you up with some birds once theyre hatched. I know you were kidding, but you offered me some eggs, and Ill return the favor. Itll save ya some money at the very...

Dang, I set them already, some of Slaviks eggs were so big they didnt fit in the quail egg cartons or turner. They are worth waiting for. At this point, Youd hafta wait for them to hatch and I could hook up some chicks. I wont need 85% of 60 eggs . . . Btw, he had a really nice mix of colors...

Lol, Quail have become my drug of choice! Im like a pusher . . . See me standing on a dirty street corner, a bag of quail eggs sitting in a garbage can within easy reach . . . You walk by and I whisper " Hey I got some good stuff here, nice and fat and heavy, your gonna love what I got" . . ...

You dont want to hear my fan story, just take my word for it . . . Call Slavik, youll be impressed, and he likes people to hatch from his eggs.
