➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

Thanks.. I just want to make sure I am doing everything correctly.. I still have to learn as I just had a chicken egg explode in the incubator. Never happened before.

This is a bad idea.

The number one cause of failure to hatch of fully formed chicks that die at the end is too high of humidity during the incubating phase. It prevents the air cell from increasing to the proper size needed for hatching. It can also create chicks too large to be able to maneuver and zip after they pip.

I agree.
And I might be a firm believer that one should not ever help a quail out of an egg.

That's a one way trip to work for me. It's almost exactly 20 miles from my door to my desk.

One year I had a job that was 50 miles one way. It was 100 miles round trip. I have had a number of jobs over the years that were 20 miles one way for a 40 mile round trip. Because of the distance to the mines here, there are a lot of people that ride company buses for their 100 mile one way rides to work.

See this one I could not find in the Hatching failure docs.. Thanks!

Liar. You help them the first time you see that one's gotten stuck.

It's not too bad because I drive nearby 2--3 times per week anyway.

That makes sense then!! For some reason I never really pictured you as the going into the city type or even being that close to the city haha

It's technically a town.... I just call it a city. It's big enough for a grocery store, feed supply store, a library, and a few other assorted businesses. The real cities are much farther.

Yep, similar situation here with any job that pays well enough to support a household. Working from home makes things a lot easier in these cases, so remote jobs are in high demand.

Day 13 but it is my fault as I candled them all yesterday and I have probably kept them outside for too long and it died.
