How cute! I had 2 more healthy ones hatch last night. I still have 11 eggs in there, how long should I leave them...today is just now day 21.

Woke up this morning to 2 more healthy babies, 1 dead (had unabsorbed yolk on outside of his stomach) 1 had pipped and zipped, but it was at pointy end of egg and died before it could get out, and 1 that is nearly dead looks like it's guts are hanging on the outside (poor thing). Nothing I can...

4 more chicks for a total of 8 so far and at least 1 more pip.

4 chicks, 1 zipping, half a dozen or so pips....come on chickies KDbeads how is the little one doing? PS....incubating is MUCH more fun when chicks hatch at the end....I believe I am hooked

Wow, that is awful! So sorry

Congratulations on your new fluffies! I have 2 new baby chickens and 3 more have pipped. I am surprised they are so early, I wasn't expecting any until Saturday! I will try to get pics as soon as I can. Also, 1 more quail hatched late last night for a total of 5 out of 21 eggs. I left them...

Total of 4 chicks so far. 1 last night, 2 this morning and 1 while I was at work. 1 looks pipped, but nothing further. Out of 20 eggs not great, but much much better than nothing. I wonder how long I should leave the rest of the eggs in before I give up on them...today is day 19. Nothing...

I have a chick!!! 1 lonely coturnix, but seeing as this is my third try and my very first chick, I'll take it!!! Hoping he/she has some brothers and sisters joining us very soon

I got home from work and one quail has pipped, but nothing further since 3:30....(chews nails)

How pretty!

Still nothing out of the quail.....but, I candled some chickens last night when I put them on lockdown and they are still kicking. Humidity was 76% this morning, is that too high? I took a plug out.

Kathy- I have been watching your staggered hatches with envy...where did you get your eggs? I am in central MO. Anna

So, since I recounted the quail are due today or tomorrow. Still not even a peep out of them. Karrie-looks like someone posted a thread and they are saying that a day either way doesn't matter too much.

I just counted again, today is day 17...so tonight instead of turning them I am going to go ahead and put on lockdown since quail are due tomorrow or Wed and I have to work so early.

Ok, now I am confused. I put mine in at 5pm Oct 16....should I put mine on lockdown too? I wasn't going to do it until Wed. Also, I had a temp dip/humidity spike today, things were fine this am 65% humidity 100.00 temp....got home from work 70% humidity 95.8....I hope they are ok.

6 is way better than none! Have you had luck with shipped eggs in the past?

I will say don't throw any of the glowing ones out. I had trouble with them falling out of the auto turner and breaking. I candled and they glowed like a clear egg, but upon cracking them open there were nearly done chicks in there....don't know for the life of me how they wouldn't have thrown...

Well, I took everything out of the turners, put them into egg cartons and am turning the chickens by propping the cartons up on one side, then switching to the other side 3 times a day. No pips or chirps from the quail yet but they are not due till Tuesday.

Is it too late to join? I had probably half a dozen broken in shipping (including all but 1 duck) but I set 37 black and red giant (whatever that means...thought Jersey Giant, but after reading more there is no red so not sure what I actually got) 1 duck and 30 quail (seller sent as extras) on...
