yes buttons go into lockdown thanksgiving day and due to hatch Saturday....I have 3 of 4 laying now so only one to go......(that i could have been wrong on gender)

Can you see inside the button eggs when candling?

Crunchy isn't stripey.

i was able to see inside most of these.....there’s a few with wonky air cells but i’m starting to think that’s common with button eggs as i’ve seen it every time and many still seem to be developing......I can try to get a candling pic or 2

I'm so excited to not have any screamers this time.

my halloween batch was quiet too.....i kept them in the living room for 3 weeks when normally i’m ready to move the screamers out by week 1!!!

They usually don't eat this soon.

Mine always seem to start eating almost as soon as I put them in the brooder. I don't wait very long to move them either.

Lucky you. My last three batches have been quiet. This one has one that cries all night.

I picked up this cute little hamster cage last week to move buttons while I cleaned the cage....going to use it as my button brooder but still have to figure out waterer and heat for it

If you're going to use that for a brooder, you might want to wrap the sides with a towel or something to keep the heat in until they're down to room temps.
