➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[Nabiki]

Oh my that's a lot!

There are 13 eggs left. 8 mixed and 5 celadon. Two of the mixed are zipping now, and one of the celadons has an obvious pip, and I hear movement in at least one more. I may have had low fertility, but the ones that developed are doing well on hatching.

Buttons are going to be two weeks old tomorrow. They are afraid of new things I put in the cage, whether it is food or enrichment. But if I feed them bugs and stuff from my hand, they aren't afraid at all. I think this is a good sign that my chicks are trusting me. So thankful that all ten are thriving, even tough they now have to live in a maximum security prison because one escaped through the metal bars of the cage while I was gone and I found it in my bedroom crying for help.

I'm calling the hatch. I have one egg left in the incubator that might hatch (I think I saw some movement in there when I candled last night), but since it's not out yet, I don't think it's going to make it. I'll update if it hatches tomorrow.

66 fertile eggs, 58 chicks hatched, 2 didn't make it.

My hatch is done. The last two stragglers hatched this morning.
55 set, 41 fertile, 34 hatched. The double yolker made it to about day 12 before the twins quit.
One of my falb fee chicks died yesterday, 3 or 4 days old. No idea why, it was thriving. I weighed all the chicks the day before so I could move the 20 biggest to a different brooder and it was one of the largest.

Sometimes internal issues aren’t apparent until they have been living on feed for a couple days and not the yolk. It’s sad but it happens sometimes.

Day 18? When will you call the hatch?

What is temp? Humidity? 18 is a long hatch and if you haven't seen a pip yet, it isn't looking good.

Er the temperature is at 37.3 and the humidity between 60 and 65....ill probably keep it in till day 21...i think the incubator readings are faulty but my thermometer and hygrometer are taking reallyy long to arrive

I was supposed to start locked down yesterday but guess who has not taken the turner out yet?


Since I forgot I'm turning it into an experiment.

I have taken the turner out a week in advance before with no issues.

This time I'm leaving the turner in until Hatch Day.
