Just jostling them around and changing the environment. Probably just overreacting......I noted humidity when I took hygrometer out of shed @47% and have attempted to get same in imcubator....tomorrow is actually day 17 so I just need to take a breath and go to bed!!
Yeah, I know what you mean. I’m honing like, every other bird. Then trying to open a path between the feathers. I didn’t think mine was sharp enough, but then I accidentally touched the blade to my finger. Oops. I guess I’m not as incompetent a knife sharpener as I thought.
I saw a YouTube video made by an older couple who wanted to start raising quail. They bought a carton of eggs from the grocery store and popped them in their brand new incubator. I don’t remember precisely, but they did hatch enough to get their operation going. Seems to me it was over 50%. They didn’t seem to know that refrigerating the eggs was something undesirable.
Several utubers are getting watchers by getting Trader Joe free range eggs and hatching them. Kiki does it with balut, but she candles at the store for life to increase her chances. Kiki is smart.
I'm glad I'm not the only one confused. I just want more of that color. But they won't cooperate. I hope the eggs hatch for you.Hmmmm. I just picked up a few dozen eggs from Sara last night in ~90+ degree weather where they may have already started incubating, drove them up ~5,000 ft, and now they are sitting at 70 until I get the bator setup. I feel as though I should be taking bets on them too. We shall see. Imma slap them in my slightly more reliable medium one today and see what happens.
I also have two new jumbo hens and a beautiful little golden tuxedo male I am so excited about. Pics tomorrow!
Incidentally, she confused me. She's hatched sandy, roux-ish birds from equally weird, almost-red-range-but-nots.
Too many colors!
The genes won't cooperate?
yes do that breath and bed
