So 4 more hatched last night but 2 of that 4 died. It was weird they could not stand and kept flopping around on their backs and one of them looks like they can not stand just kind of hobbled around then died. so far I got 9 out of 14 tonight I will float test the last 3 tonight.
I have...
So this is my second try at this. the last time only 3 out of 17 hatched
Today 7 out of 14 hatched but today is only day 16 and I staggered putting some in (as they layed them) so a few is not due for anoter 2 days.
Also have another 36 just put in yesterday this should be my last batch for...
i dont see a question in there.
I use paper towel for the first week and then add pine shavings ( I change the papertowl daily and pine shavings) they sure grow super fast
The batch i am putting in tomorrow came from Amazon as well Turnbull farms?
My first batch I bought on ebay and only 3 out of 17 hatched, I bought 6 adults amonth or so back and I have 10 of their eggs in now and it looks like 9/10 will hatch I hope at least they are candled good.
Call me crazy to do back to back to back hatching
My first batch did not do so good only hatched 3 out of 17 but i never candled them
my second batch I only put in 10 as these came from my own quail and I put them in on the 17th due to hatch on 4/1 and I candled all these 9/10 look ok...
I just placed 10 more eggs in my bator last night and ordered 48 more
I hope that this batch hatchs a better rate then my last one this past week 3 out of 17
Right now I have 3 in my brooder and 5 adults. I am trying to get to 20-30 females and 5-8 males I will be keeping that bator going...
Just checked the rest of the eggs all rotten. so my rate was 3 hatched, 1 started but died and 22 rotten eggs. lesson learned no more eggs from ebay
I started the fresh eggs I got over the last 5 days (only 10) but I hope these hatch.
I am having a hard time finding local eggs. One person...
I took out half the eggs 9 of them were rotten and boy did they stink
only 1 had a chick forming but based on what it looked like maybe half way formed. so I left the others in
today is day 18 and only 3 hatched. How much longer should I leave the eggs in? Also if I wait until the end today should I open the eggs to see if they started to grow or not? or should I give it a few more days?
So far 3 out of 17 have hatched and the first one is a little bugger he is going around pecking the other 2. but all three are eating and drinking and run around very fast. I hope more hatch today at 7PM will be day 17
So far the only one I hope more hatch that would suck only one
How long do you leave them in incubator before moving them over to the brooder??? I heard 24 hours??
Do you put feed or water in the bator?? I know I know I should know this stuff by now
Today is day 16 (well tonight around 5PM will be 16 days in. I hope everything works out. My wife keeps going over to the bator to see if they are hatching yet
Tomorrow is day 16 for me and the next batch (this batch was small only 25) is going to be small (6-8) because my other quail just started laying. gonna be fun hatching my own eggs. Just wish I can have a rooster....
