Went by TSC to to see about them ordering the Purina game bird starter to be shipped to their store. It would only cost $81.00 shipping for two bags of feed. Needless to say, that option is out.

Well I think our main hatch is done & we had 25/45 hatch successfully. No “should I....shouldn’t I help” eggs & not one egg needed assistance at all. A lovely clean trouble free hatch - phew!
Yay! & thanks all! I think your advice on humidity really helped. I will wait for that first pip before raising humidity in future.

These were shipped eggs so I’m pretty happy with a hatch above 50% Only one with curly toes so I think the parent birds were largely healthy & in a good nutritional state. It’s always hard to know with shipped eggs what I should consider my fault & poor incubation practice & where to acknowledge the quality of the parent birds & eggs is an issue.

I like our new incubator though... that was pretty much fuss free. I will confess it’s already filling up again..... ducks next! Yay! & from our own happy healthy birds - yay!

I ordered a cree flashlight two weeks ago. Was supposed to be here last week. Just pinged the seller and ended up with a refund because it hadn't even shipped yet. So much for candling better this hatch

I’m calibrating my two Govee mini temp/hydros. These things are pretty damn accurate. The temp is right and the hydro is coming up to 75%. I adjusted incubator 1 by 1.3 to match incubator 2 and I’ll let them sit until the humidity stabilizes then adjust again if needed.

(From 2/14/2021) . . .Prepping the incubator -- planning to hatch 14 homegrown (7 celadon, 7 speckled) and 5 refrigerator eggs from the supermarket, total of 19. . . .View attachment 2530481

Update: I just candled the eggs on day 11. Only two of the supermarket (of the total 5 put in ) appear to be clear. There's hope for the other three.

(Of the remaining eggs, 2 homegrown celadon and one speckled homegrown are clear. 14 total eggs are still hopefuls.)

25 button eggs set this week.....due to hatch around 3/10

Fiddle sticks. The freeze stopped the quail laying here. That and the light appears to be cold intolerant too. It is a solar light and we had several days of no solar.

Hopefully they’ll be back to normal in a couple weeks.....time changes then too so days are starting to get longer!!!
