➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

I just candled the 8 eggs that I set from my hen. They're all very green. Silver boy appears to be a dud.

Dummies.
Put them on dirt.

i’m planning to clean it out and will probably try to put in a dirt box.....this group is completely confusing me! I had 2 that I thought were for sure in crisis before work yesterday and last night i couldn’t tell which 2. They are now 2 weeks old so hopefully we are through the worst of it. i’m going to try to get a picture of the size difference for you though.....it looks almost like a staggered hatch with the variation in size!

Pansy hatch going on LOCKDOWN!!!

25 eggs LOCKED & LOADED

Oh, and why bother with thermometers?
Incubator is set on 99.5° F.
2nd thermometer reads 99° F.
3rd thermometer reads 101° F.
Ready for some.....
ROCKING & ROLLING

Multiple thermometers. Some people like lots of data input. Simple psychology.

One thermometer always lies.
Two thermometers - one is lying and you don't know which
Three thermometers - always agree. Or the liar gets thrown away.

Simply psychology. See example above. Did you mark the thermometers so you know which one is high? Also switch the locations and see if they are just different. Then put them side by side and see if they still argue.

Distilled water boils at 212°F at sea level. Tap water boils slightly higher with impurities. The higher in elevation, the lower distilled water boils.

Good luck with the hatch!

It's official, only six eggs are fertile and developing.
The other 11 are all duds.

The good thing is these 6 are all from the same cage, homegrowns/new big boy.

Can't wait to see them! How are the 2 that you hatched for Halloween HAL?

She offed them because one was injured by its sibling and she was not going to try to raise a lone chick.
