➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

We are on day 16 in the incubator and watching carefully. I moved the bator a bit to the side to check for any pips and I swear I heard a chirp. Was I hearing things or can they chirp inside this early? We are using a Janoel 12 and I put in a terrarium hygrometer. I have found the humidity levels drop quickly and raise quickly with only a little bit of water, so I check it four times a day now. I feel like a new mom watching every single thing and worrying about any change in humidity

They can chirp this early, especially if your temperature was a bit high during incubation.

I agree with nabiki also we all do this when we incubate

Two of my black tuxedos from the most recent hatch. It looks like they're going to be genuinely black, not tibetan.

I didn't realize how hard it would be to stay away from the eggs. I'm so tempted! One is zipped then rolled over onto the zip opening so it's covered now. I'm letting it do is own thing but I really want to go in and turn it over to help it! I had to put in stuffed toys with the lone chick and he finally settled down.

I noticed that the earlier chicks rampage thru the incubator and kick all the eggs around. Then some of the eggs pip in the middle, or eggs that pipped never finish because the chick gets shifted in the shell from the rolling. So I started lining my eggs up in channels of shelf liner to keep them from getting punted all over.

I just put these in lockdown yesterday, the eggs really only go side to side, and the little channels prevent tgat

My first hatch I had no shelf liner at all, and those eggs flew around and hit the sides hard! I had several that pipped in the middle and died in the shell. Since I started doing this, I rarely have any who pip in the wrong place.
