Y'all are so active on here! Every time I get on I'm about 300 posts behind!!! I love seeing everyone's baby chick pics. My New Year's hatch a long quail have finally started! I didn't candle because they are so small, but I had over 100 in there. This morning there are about 40 running...

My new babies This one's my favorite! She's an olive egger. Not 100% sure on the mom, but the dad was a blue copper marans. She is even fluffier than she looks in the pic with a beard, muffs, & feathered shanks. She loves to snuggle too! I'm really excited to see this one...

Welcome! I've never done quail before, but I'm getting 120 eggs on Wednesday!!!

Ya'll are active today, I can barely keep up!!!! I have 2 olive eggers out, my one dark brahma/ blue copper marans mix (that I soooo hope is a girl!) pipping, and 3 black copper marans & 3 olive eggers I'm still holding out on. A couple a rattling around a bit. I think my hatch date was...

Wow, can't wait to see pics! I just have a really basic incubator-- I think the most basic they sell-- the still air Farm Innovations. Only planned on using it for one hatch, but I was hooked and it's been running pretty much non-stop since I got it in June. I added the egg turner after the...

Hi heidisgran, good to see you again! Haha no I didn't take much of a hiatus, I think I am an addict Candy corn polish, now that sounds interesting!!! Can't wait to see the pics!!

I'm about 100 pages behind so I'm going to give up on catching up and just start over!!! Hope everyone has been doing good! After what happened with my last hatch losing almost $200 in eggs I swore of incubating, but caught the bug and loaded it back up! I have a few black copper marans and...

Random Question: Anyone hatch quail before? I don't know what I would even do with quail, we only have chickens and turkeys, but I've noticed the eggs on ebay are always like 5-6 dozen opposed to like 6-8 for chicken eggs. Is it that their hatch rate is so low? Or do they just lay an...

Thank you so much! It's the 4th deployment to Afghanistan. He's done a couple shorter ones in South America. She's not yet 3, so I'm trying so hard not to be mad AT her since she is so young, but she KNOWS not to touch it! She may not comprehend it will cause all my eggs to die, but she...

Last hatch of the year and the most expensive one!!! Sold all my kids clothes on ebay and used the paypal money to buy almost $160 in rarer breed hatching eggs I've wanted for awhile. Eggs between Day 18 and Day 14. I just bought an additional incubator for lockdown/hatching. My kids KNOW to...

Someone on one of the threads I subscribe to, can't remember if it was this one, had 1 chick hatch and put it in the brooder with mirrors & beads and stuff. It was the cutest thing ever!!!! Haha and her chick looked happy. Maybe somebody locally has another chick around the same age you...

So my blue Breda hatch is over, time to clean the bator and load it back up. Out of 10 eggs, 9 made it to lockdown. 1 I tried to help out too early and it died. 2 I didn't help out because of the first one and they were dead stuck in their shell. 6 made it and are doing great, setting up the...

Blue Breda are finally hatching!!!

Sorry for your losses! Hopefully you have some more hatch! Don't freak about the intestine looking thing! I had that happen and was convinced the chick was deformed and part of it's stomach came out through the umbilical cord. It was fine, it's just the cord, give it a day or so and it will...

Thanks Over the summer without water my humidity was at 90-95% I was really worried about them drowning. This past hatch it kept going between 50%-60% and they all shrink wrapped in there and weren't able to move to pip they ended up dying in the shells. I've got a few rocking around so fingers...

Thank you all for the advice! They are mail order eggs so usually they've always hatched around day 20, but I think these need a little longer. This could also be from the temp being cooler. There was some bleeding (not profusely), but the yolk was not all absorbed. I think I was so worried...

Supposed to be hatch day, but no one is pipping yet. All were looking good on lock down. My last hatch my chicks all got shrink wrapped in their eggs because humidity was too low. My humidity dropped again, even though I have water in there. I gently tried to open 1 of the 9 up just to make...

WOW that color blue is amazing!!!

Hi! Nice to meet you! I'm not really Dutch... We raised dutch rabbits which is how I got the screen name and my email address. And we don't even raise them anymore, but I can't change the screen name haha. I get a lot of random people on yahoo finding my email and thinking I'm dutch (from...
