some people do ok with shavings or pellet bedding from day 1....but definitely be more careful especially to avoid wetness. my first batch, I tried to brood same as i had my chicken chicks and unfortunately these guys are a little different in their “dumbness” to put it simply.....
Yeah I’ve sat out there and watched it just to make sure and it always worked as for humidity I always kept it around 50 and bumped up to to 70 to 75 come hatch
Well I just bought some marbles and put them in their water.
i have no doubt you will be closely monitoring them!!! it’s difficult with these little cuties to keep your eyes and hands off them especially with first hatch!!!
My wife is even in love with them she stuck her hand in the incubator and grabbed one and promptly to a picture to post to Facebook hopefully I’m igniting a quail addiction in heri have no doubt you will be closely monitoring them!!! it’s difficult with these little cuties to keep your eyes and hands off them especially with first hatch!!!
The turner motor can generate heat, which could throw off the hatch. Dry hatch might have helped more too. Only way to know for sure is to hatch more birds
Yes some died before pipping others pipped middle of egg some never pipped fully developed but just didn’t do it
Oh I have a plan to hatch hopefully every 10 weeks for food and replenish stockThe turner motor can generate heat, which could throw off the hatch. Dry hatch might have helped more too. Only way to know for sure is to hatch more birds
Also a lot were infertile at first candling so removed them
