Wow!! I should really fill up the incubator again...

So uh, haven’t updated in a little bit, but may have gone overboard in the quail department... Here’s my hatches from 2020 for the doc @Kiki 4/1/2020 HG 21 set, 20 fertile, 2 EQ, 18 hatched 5/18/2020 HG 35 set, 33 fertile, 6 EQ, 27 hatched 5/18/2020 Kiki’s Pansy Fee 22 set, 22 fertile, 2 EQ, 20...

First 2 eggs from @Kiki ‘s pansy fees yesterday! My own that were hatched at the same time are slacking... I think a lot are boys though Please excuse my atrociously dirty hands... got that whole veterinary-student-turned-plumbing-assistant-for-summer chic going on :lau

Anyone good with genetics wanna take a guess at how I got a full white chick from my aviary with no white birds? Would it be a spontaneous mutation, or could there be hidden white genes in one of the two potential fathers? For some reason I was thinking white was one gene and recessive, but I...

I started hatching quail at lower humidity (though not quite as low as Kiki) and it definitely boosted my hatch rates. I even got lucky and got a 100% hatch off shipped Myshire eggs. I’ve been averaging 30-40% humidity pre-lockdown, 55% during lockdown and letting it get to whatever it gets to...

One of these “pansy fees” is not like the others 😂 Must be from the cage with the rosetta!

I think this hatch is pretty much done! Set 57 Fertile 55 EQ 5 DIS 3 Hatched 47 And 20 of those are pansy fees from @Kiki!

It's hatch day! Woke up at 5 AM to chirping. 7 Pansy Fees already out and HGs just getting started! :wee I'm supposed to be studying for a huge anatomy exam/practical/final tomorrow.... Guess what I'm doing instead

Me too, I'm so glad. Air cells are looking good and everything!

I filmed that with my phone between my knees by the way :lau

@Kiki the eggs are doing great! All the ones I set in the incubator were bebopping around when I candled them today. Here’s one from Cage R

Does the fitbit group come with reminders for me to actually put on my fitbit in the morning? :lau My steps are so low right now because half the time I don’t even remember and leave it on the charger for 2-3 days at a time... I swear!

All HG and hatched-to-order! Didn’t get to keep even a single one, though I was eyeballing the tuxedos pretty hard

@Kiki I have one for you that’s not in yet... Sorry to add to the pile! Start Date- 4/1 Total eggs- 21 Fertile- 20 EQ- 2 Hatched- 17

There are 22 in the bator, I only had time to candle a row of them last night. I’ll have to check on the rest soon!

@Kiki Just candled 10 of the post office abuse survivors, all of them were fertile and developing! Looks like it might still be a great hatch :D

Dominoes :(

I’d heard the same thing. I always try to avoid that area because I’m afraid a big egg will lean too far and get to close to the heat source when turning. Good to know! Yup, big dent in the side. Give me one minute, I’ll send the pic of the spots where the eggs were smashed. They’re all on the...

I gave them some HG friends in the incubator as well because I can’t help myself :lau

Came home to find my eggs sideways in the mailbox... never a good sign. :barnieBut they are here!!!!! :celebrate Minus 8 fallen soldiers in the yellow bowl. Definitely letting these guys rest in the turner for as long as I can hold out
