I hatched some quail at the stock temperature (37.5c) and they came out on time but i cranked it up by 0.3C this time around as i felt temperature was more consistent around the incubator, before there was a 0.5C variation between different spots in the incubator but now its more like 0.2C. I...

I didn't pay too much attention to the air cells, i just had a look before lockdown and they seemed normal enough (comparing it to pics on here) although they weren't all the same, the eggs were up to 25 days or so old so i did consider the fairly strong possibility that i wouldn't have a great...

Got 12 so far out of 17. 4 had zipped but i had to help out, not something I'd do usually as they are too weak too live in my experience but these were all stuck inside the egg with the membrane tightly wrapped around them. Now I'm wondering if my humidity was too low... The 2 i helped out (by...

No definitely not low, it's set at 37.8C. I had another one hatch an hour or so after the dead one, it went from pip to hatch pretty quickly but that also had what looked like some unabsorbed yolk/whites and a crooked toe, can't see if it's still crooked though. There are 2 that pipped and...

Seems that my hygrometer was off, I'm running the salt test on it now and it's already reached 80% (should be 75%). Seems the humidity isn't too high and now I'm worried that the constant opening of the incubator to lower it will negatively affect the pipped eggs. So anyone got any idea what...

I'm actually now not so sure if the humidity levels i stated were accurate, i hatched a lot of quail using the same incubator with the same humidity levels, i had a few shrink wrapped ones and upon checking it with a different hygrometer the one on the brinsea was reading 8% too high, i...

Are you sure? From what I've read on here people like to keep it between 40-45 and brinsea themselves recommend 40-50%,mine would rarely hit 40 and spent most of the time at 38%.

I've got 18 eggs in my brinsea octagon 20 incubator and started getting some pips today (day 20) and one was starting to zip, suddenly it stopped moving completely and looking in to the egg there appeared to be a lot of water. I opened it up and it looked dead Humidity is currently at...
