➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[Nabiki]

Okay ladies, remind me again how long to give a chick to hatch before helping?? This baby is doing his best but he’s popping out about half way down the egg so he’s struggling a bit. He’s been at it for about an hour…clearly not yet, but how long would you wait?

That one looks like it needs help, but remember, the ones that have trouble hatching usually have troubles for reasons. If it were just pipped, I'd give it 24 hours. With that one, it's clearly trying to zip. In my experience if you help it, it has about a 25% chance of making it.

Okay yeah, they pipped yesterday so it’s not likely going to make it :-( it still has the umbilical cord attached…with yolk and blood…so I’m letting it be now. I’m assuming it won’t make it poor baby :-(

It happens. Like I said, most of the time if they're having trouble hatching there are reasons.

My new incubator is due to arrive Friday. I won way too many eggs at auction this weekend, so I'm going to be filling the new one and putting the rest into my old one. I took out every other rail in the old one so I won't get any crushed eggs this time.

Well there goes your amazing bargain!

Did your babies you were patiently waiting for end up hatching? I don’t think I saw an update!

I've been wanting this incubator for about 6 months. It's not exactly an impulse buy. I just bought it a bit sooner than I was planning on.

Hopefully I'll be able to sell all of the chicks!

Think how much trouble you could get into with a cabinet incubator and double stacking the trays.

Ain't that the truth! I'm very experienced in that scenario! one of the reasons I have 3 cabinets.
