➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[007Sean]

I couldn't see swimming but I wasn't looking for that. I was looking at the veins. They grew over night so I'm thinking that this one did not die like I was sure it had yesterday.

The veins looked the same to me? but then again I wasn't really looking at them ...I started to say I saw it move last night but thought it might have been you tilting the egg...this time it was definitely moving. Congrats, not all is lost!

My bator spiked twice this week, Sunday and last night, 104°F. The spike on Sunday I have no idea how long it was but had chicks hatching so I guess it wasn't that long?
Last night it was at that temp for about 2 hours. I don't know if it killed them or not, their to dark to see any movement. I should have some start hatching tonight or tomorrow...with spikes, you never know.

Must be the weekend of temp spikes/incubator failures.

See the fun you have to look forward to?

Yep, looks that way. I scaled back on hatching this year, so instead of cranking up my cabinet bator's, I'm just using two of my foam bator's. One Innovator Farms 4250 and a 'bastardized' Hovabator. The IF 4250 is the one with the spikes...it's only 1 year old.
Last year it worked perfectly!

I'm going to be setting eggs later this week. I told myself I was done after the last disaster hatches, but I can't just leave those quail eggs alone. They started laying on Sunday and everyday we have found more than the day before. Loving these little birds.
