View attachment 1692924 here the 3 are was hoping for more but I think it's done. I will let it go 1 more day and call it.
I find I’m getting too annoyed with information I find online. I’d rather get bad information here.
My quail are making noises I thought they couldn’t make yet. Should 3-week-olds be able to make... trilling and cooing noises?
Yes, I have two external thermometers (one non-digital calibrated with freezing and boiling temps and a second digital calibrated to the first one) and a calibrated hygrometer (sealed bag, salt paste, 75% method). The incubator thermometer is pretty much spot on with the external thermometers but the incubator humidity readout varies (sometimes it matches, sometimes not). I go by the humidity on the digital thermometer/hygrometer since I know it’s calibrated. Humidity is generally kept between 40-55% (it did get up to 65% a few days ago when the environmental relative humidity was high due to a storm rolling through.
Depending on how this hatch goes I would definitely be interested in some hatching eggs...don’t want to give up after my first try and want to learn as much as possible.
Oh my goodness, that’s gorgeous!!View attachment 1692924 here the 3 are was hoping for more but I think it's done. I will let it go 1 more day and call it.
I literally don’t know what to expect from anything when it comes to farming. I know the basics to get plants and animals to live and grow. The looks and sounds they make… No clue! I had to hatch ducklings to know they peep like chicks. Grow tomatoes to know they are a vine, and obviously I know zip about quail!On a similar note. The first time I ever had Button quail, I didn't know what kind of call or noises to expect, I was awaken by a horrible hissing sound one night, I thought there was a monster from a B- horror movie loose in my house. First time you hear it, it will make the hair stand up on the back of your neck!![]()
Contrary to popular belief and what is generally posted on various sites, fertile eggs will begin developing when a constant temerature of around 72°F is reached.
This one reason when I receive a shipment of eggs late in the season, I put them immediately in the incubator with the turner off, to 'rest' after shipping.
If you let them rest in a cool spot/place, you have effectively killed the developing embryos.
On a few occasions I've had the shippers not adhere to my instructions of putting on the box for the PO to contact me for a 'will call' and the eggs sat in the mailbox for several hours. They were already incubating by the time I got home from work, so I immediately put them in the bator.
Its just like getting bare root trees or plants in the mail. A Postal employee thinks they are doing you a favor when they put the package under the heat vent to make sure it doesn't get cold.interesting! Puts even more perspective the variables of shipped eggs!
