➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[Kiki]

One more, assisted. It zipped and then got knocked around and disoriented.

I have a few more with movement and one more pipped so I’m going to give it a day or so.

Ughhhhhh i had a total of 3 late quitters, 1 pipped and died, 1 that was still alive but really underdeveloped (oops), and two more clear.

14 set
5 chicks
4 clear
3 late quitters
1 in the shell
1 Hatcher error

I’m super grumpy, because this was only our third use of this incubator. It just kept tanking temperature and I’d have to keep raising all the settings.

Make sure you have a salt tested humidity gauge in there because I noticed a little bit of moisture on the walls of your incubator and that means you're humidity was quite hot which can be an issue.

That was during hatch, does yours spike when there are some hatching? And yeah I only have a cheapy thermometer. The second one wasn’t working when I set up

It's normal for the humidity to spike when they're hatching, but you still don't want to let it get too high.

When the air in the incubator becomes saturated, = 100% Rh, moisture will condensate on the viewing panes or on the top and sides of the bator....a sign, the humidity is way too high!

Permanent marker colorful dots on the head is working well.

Red, blue and green are all three in this picture.

It goes up a little bit when they're actively hatching but not too much.

Thanks all.
It never got past 75 on my monitor, although I had just added water when I took the hatching pic so it may have spiked and not read? Anyway, I appreciate the help!

The 5 that hatched are doing well

Any thing past 60% and you start running into trouble with the chicks hatching.
