You need an egg turner with a built in candler.

Hey, that's a good idea. We need a light bulb emoji.

Here ya go!

This morning is the start of day 4.
I peeked at 3 eggs last night and did not see anything.

I am still checking at least twice a day. More like 5 times.
I am getting 7 eggs each day now.

SEVEN!

I put one regular 75 watt light bulb shining in the cage on one side. It does not light the whole cage up, but yes there is added light now.

He makes noise once or twice every third day.

I have caught him mating a few times now.
None of the hens are missing feathers on thier heads so he much have figured out how to be nice pretty quickly.


I suck at looking for bullseyes. I gave that up for good.

I can't remember who but someone a while back in your Balut thread posted about the quail eggs being hard to see development in. If I am remembering correctly, eggs that gave off a pink/red glow when candled are developing and ones that give off a green/blue glow are not developing. I hope that I am remembering correctly.
