➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

Absolutely...but he's one of my weaker ones. Hopefully he strengthens up! What kind do you think he is?

He's the kind Kiki wants.

He’s the Tibetan tux

Noooooooooooooo.....I don't want to hear this.
I want him to be a real black tux.

It's about 60 until they start hatching then it climbs to 70ish....
Fyi: just for lockdown. It's at 30% during incubation.

Lower it.

He passed during the night :-( I contacted the seller last night and she told me that I can buy Tibetan tux eggs on her website and to refer to her card that came with the eggs. I can't find the card! That chick was my favorite and I want more!

Side note...I think it had a respiratory infection because by last night it was crackling when it breathed.

Lower it.

I didn't think about it being caused by all those soggy egg shells in the incubator, I removed them all. There are still 5 "alive" but no external pips, so i don't know if these stragglers will make it or not. I hate when a hatch goes south! I can hear chirping in there still... it's at about 50% now that I removed the old shells...

11 out of 19 that made it to lockdown, I've got my fingers crossed for a couple more to hatch.

Today is day #16.....
I see 3 pips.....
And I hear chirping.....

Correction: make that 4 pips....

I just started a hatch. Should I post here? 50 tuxedo Celadon eggs set February 22.

@Kiki will need more info! Lol. But that is a definite "YES!" to your question!

On Saturday February 22nd I received my order of 50 Celadon quail eggs from Reno quail. Upon opening the box I discovered that they were packaged great! One had a little dent in it, but he sent 6 extra, and all of the rest seemed to be in great shape!

I let them sit for several hours to get up to room temperature, candled them for cracks or loose air cells (which I didn't notice any) and placed them in my incubator around 4:30pm.

Forced air incubator with auto turning set to 38c and 55% humidity for the first 16 days, then will bump to 75% humidity on lockdown. (Numbers seem weird, but it's what usually works for me)

I'm super excited because this breeder claims that all (98%) of his hens from this line lay Celadon eggs!

I will candle them on day 6\7 to check for development!

They are due to hatch March 12 (+\-)

Follow along!

My housemate came back after a long weekend and said “The birds got so big! I don’t like that they aren’t little any more, can we hatch some more eggs?”
I sure as heck don’t need to be told twice! As soon as my HGs are laying regularly, the eggs are going in the incubator as a “fertility check”
It definitely helps that I was able to sell every one of the falb fee chicks I was willing to part with, too!
