➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[CindyinSD]

New baby! Well, kinda new... it was probably a baby before it broke out, and hopefully the other eggs also contain actual baby duckies. Two others were pipped when I looked several hours ago. Hope they all make it. Their brooder is now ready and waiting.

You want annoying?! Dead baby drowned from resting against a sponge.
One is from the white egg, so my hope for a white is wrong.

Another is almost done zipping.

Can't 'like' that BC. Sorry about your losses. even well intentions don't go right sometimes.

Forced air. Don't think I've had issues. That said, this is only the second time I've had it slap full. Wait until day 7, candle, pull clears and get the ones off the floor. I'll move them away from the motor then.

Remember, I'm new at this and am eagerly learning from you experienced folks.

Myshire impressed me. Ordered 80 eggs. Received 90. 1 cracked in the middle of the foam so cracked going in for shipping? 4 looked like they were pecked or hit by a sharp something. 2 beak sized. 2 teeny holes. Several poopy. They looked like they were polished and the dried, cement poop stayed. We shall see if the poopy hatch.

85 split between me and friend.

Definitely want to move them away from the turner motor. Don't put an egg in the holder next to the motor either. It will cook them.

I currently have six alive, and two dead. One of the dead should have lived, so I figure I did a pretty darn good job setting the incubator. I am patting myself on the back.
