➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[Sara L]

The babies are here! The babies are here!
So far we have 16 jumbos hatched, 14 moved to the brooder:

And the red traditional experimental eggs hatched:

Still in the incubator, the Silver chick and two jumbos drying off, and three jumbos still in the shell.

I think the hands off approach worked pretty well, except I don't know if I helped or screwed up the last three eggs by opening them up. At least I know they can breathe and see that they are alive. We shall see if they make it.

I didn't weigh mine last (my only) time.

As of this morning, there's 29 chicks in the brooders, 1 chick just hatched out of the last eggs, and the very last 2 are still absorbing veins. Not sure if they are going to end up shrink wrapped, hopefully they will be out of the shell when I get home today.

I'm eyeballing 2 different Brinsea bators.
I think I'm going to order one.

I'm eyeballing 2 different Brisnea bators.
I think I'm going to order one.

Which one are you thinking about? I've been really happy with my Octagon 20.

These two.
