➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[Nabiki]

I have someone picking up 10 birds tomorrow. I told her that I have fancy colours, but her reaction when I sent her a picture was awesome. I love it when people get more than they expect when they buy my birds.

Good luck.
If you are going to add eggs after you have set the original eggs please mark them.

21 days is not good.

I know I should have, i knew where they were in the turner but once they started playing egg ball it was a guessing game. If it’s one of those eggs then it would technically be pipped on day 19 and zipping on 20. It’s furiously working on it so I guess we will see if I wake up to a chick tomorrow.

I use the chicken egg turner. No reason to get the quail rails unless you are hatching gobs. Use what you have.

Do you make any adjustments to the chicken turner?

No. The quail eggs sit fine in my turner slots.

The Celadon hatching eggs have arrived

Just one pack, there are more ... sorted by collecting date.

Gotta setup the 'bator and tomorrow next batch is starting.
Holy ... so many chicks ... the chicks from the actual batch are just one week old

I've read a variety of opinions on humidity during incubation. We live where the rh ranges from about mid 20% to the low teens (northern Cali) and I find I cannot "dry hatch" chicken eggs, so I'm assuming I'll need some humidity for these as well. Thoughts?

I am hatching classic at 45-50% during turning and 65-75% at lock-down.

@Kiki and @Nabiki are hatching with lower humidity and have excellent results.
They may can help.

Btw, my hatch rates are not bad, either.

I'm confused...you are looking for dry hatch chicken eggs?

It sounds to me like he's tried to dry hatch chicken eggs but it doesn't work for him--he has found he needs to add humidity. He wants to know whether this means he will also need to add humidity for quail eggs.
