They're coming out like popcorn!!! Here are some pics.:jumpy

He is a little quail, and here is his daddy. Momma

I have a chick! Here he is:

It is possible, but I rarely ever get shrink wrapped chicks. The only ones that do that to me are ones that are coming out a few days late. If it happens I cover the egg with a damp paper towel to wet the membrane. It works great, but if it gets really bad you will have to give the chick a...

I take them out as needed too. Since quail don't have the same reserves as other poultry they need to be removed as soon as they are dry. I have been fine doing this, and I also do this with chickens.

I have a few pips! Out of 60 eggs I have about 25 due today, and the rest tomorrow or Sunday. One is even hatching out of the test egg that I washed with dish soap. This looks to be a good hatch despite my incubator troubles. :celebrate:ep:bow:weee:jumpy:jumpy:cd:cd:jumpy:yiipchick:jumpy:bun:jumpy

He was from a new layer so that is probably why. I have another 59 that are starting to pip!

Well I had one start to zip, but then he died. At least I know they are still alive after today's temperature spikes. This chick wouldn't have made it even if it did hatch. There was blood, and the yolk was not absorbed.

Since nothing is hatching I moved myself to the brooder so I can watch my 3 week olds.

Well you guys are just making me jealous. I am staring at 60 quail eggs doing nothing. I played with the temp for a while and finally got it right. I have been messing with it ever since lockdown. Here is what it looks like right now.... Please note the temperature was different because I just...

If it smells like cow manure topped with a shovel full of sulfur in July you have a bad egg. Here is a good thread on float testing. https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=383525

I found out something else too, I aint so good at picking a guitar either. They thought that old redneck should be able to play a guitar, but nope not for me.

I was once in that position. My mom thoought I would make a great piano player. I made it one practice before they sugested the tamborine.

I just unplug the turner on Tuesday, when they actually go into lockdown I take the racks off of the turner, and then let them hatch in them.

My quail go into lockdown next Tuesday.

BigDaddy'sGurl : Quote: for you and me! Here's another question: if they don't take up quite 3/4 of the bator, how should I do the spacing? Put the cartons in a corner or row touching each other, or with space between? BTW, just tried the float test (I know I'm early it's day 16) and...

If the cartons take up more than 3/4 of the bator don't bother with them. I have my 60 quail eggs due on the 28th and I can't wait.

10 days for some of my quail eggs, and the rest are due around the 30th. Wish me luck.
