➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[Kiki]

I candled last night....day 6 for quail, day 10 for chickens. looks like 6 clears for the quail so 24 developing. all 7 chicken eggs going strong! I took some video of the double yolker. now if i can figure out the whole upload thing!! It’s showing strong movement but I can only see one big chick. how does the second yolk affect the developing chick?? will it absorb all of it or does it pose a greater risk to the chick at hatch time?? i’m warming the 2nd bator back up now to set a few more frankenstein eggs for the HAL. since we took out the 2 cockerels last week, this may be my last fertile eggs for a couple months until new boys start getting their groove on! The EE boy from Christmas hatch is being a big bully already especially with my quail, so his days are numbered regardless of his size!! I will add the 30 sex-link on Tuesday night. It will be a bit cramped again for the first week while I wait for this batch to finish hatching.

You need to upload it to YouTube first.

So when can you see heartbeats in coturnix eggs? It’s so much different than bobwhites because of the darker shells. I can normally see heartbeats around day 4 on bobs.

i can sometime see heartbeat/movement at day 6....definitely at day 10. it does take some practice though with the darker eggs to get the egg in the right position to see anything other than veining early on.

I can see it in some of the less-dark eggs on day 4.

Good luck, I don't think I've seen a heartbeat yet.

This is great but I think you need a brighter light to see more.
