➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[007Sean]

I'm becoming a professional...I'm not even babysitting the bator constantly anymore.

you've gotten over that hill quicker than most.

I am going to look at Walgreens or Meijer for it this evening. I have to go out anyway, because I'm suppose to pick up a few turkey eggs for an incubator experiment - The Tom has been gone for a month or so, and the hen started laying eggs again. We are hoping they are still fertile from when the Tom was around.

Dollar store's too carry it down here.

Looks like I've missed some excitement overnight!!!

 

[BReeder!]

Alright. I'm taking a break from the internet. Family time and dinner. I'll keep checking on the birds and eggs though.

I started 103 (102 if you subtract one that broke along the way in the turner rails). I had 68 in lockdown (said 62 before but counted again yesterday) after removing the undeveloped eggs. 45 have hatched, but two have perished already.
I do have a few splayed legs. I may try to brace them after having read an article on line from a lady who uses pet medical wrap to create what looks like ankle cuffs and within a few days to a week the hips grow properly and adjust. There's only 2 with curled feet that I've noticed so far. I'll tape those straight and we should be good.

45/103 = 43% mailed eggs hatched. Sounds like you did well.

68/103 = 66% started development. Better than average.

Interesting.

Remember my first ones...the shipped ones... 19 to start. 13 quailies.

I never wanted shipped quail eggs to begin with.
I'm so glad I changed my mind.

Ah, but those were packed with love and care.

I just took the turner out. 21 eggs. I did not even candle them all right now.
Lockdown just started!

Day 10 - Attempted to candle last night. Used flashlight and camera light. Meh. Had one yellow and is apparently clear. Left in bator.
21 glowing green.

Of those 21, the lighter colors had blobs. Most had air cells that I could see. Draw down starts when? Lock down, right?

The darker ones are I haven't a clue. I could imagine a blob. but that is it. I'm ordering a good flashlight. Been putting it off. It won't be here before lockdown.
