➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[Kiki]

It’s day 10 for me (if I count the day I set them as 0 because it was in the early afternoon, I’m kind of confused on when the cut off is for that as some say in the morning count as say one but evening start counting the next day). I added water and decided to candle my eggs, 3 at a time so I didn’t disturb the incubator or eggs too much. I could see an embryo and what I think was its heart beating!! It was so exciting, but the husband wasn’t around to take a video unfortunately. There were multiple I couldn’t see through the shell, but I was only using my phone light instead of my good light. Only 2 out of the 15 were totally clear from what I could tell. Probably 6 I couldn’t see through and the rest I had great development and veining. Super excited. Since they were shipped a few states I’m only hoping for enough for breeding stock to incubate more. But I would be ecstatic to get more.

. SOUNDS GREAT SO FAR!

How many did you set?
Where are your eggs from?

I set 15 JMF Pharoah Jumbo egg variety from Kansas City Quail farm. First time incubating, I’m very excited.

This is the thermometer that they use in the lab I used to work at. It can be calibrated.

Fortunately for me, the man that calibrated the lab's thermometers also calibrated mine for me. I used a rubber band to hold it to the temperature sensor for my incubator and suspended it in a pan of 100°F water to determine the offset needed for my temperature controller on my incubator. I was then able to input the proper offset for the controller.

Thanks, R2! I just ordered it!

I just went to get my fish tank to clean and get ready for my fakers.
I couldn't find it.
Somebody threw it away because there was a crack in it.

You put them in a tank? I have a reptile one I should use probably be easier than a box
