@KikisGirls your right I am indeed crazy. I just won 4 turkey eggs. my temp in my ghetto bator is hold around 38.5-39c figured why the pad kept turning off something was a little wonky in the house socket thats been fixed! How is your operation free baluttie going lol

 

[Kiki]

A thermometer directly under the heating element will show higher temp than the one flat on the wire bottom of the incubator. Makes it a good choice to have several located thru out the incubator and tabulate a quick average. I also move eggs around in the auto turner when I candle the eggs so they are not in the same location thru the entire hatch. I'm a "helicopter" hatcher.

They are about half the size of a chicken egg. See pic: L to R
Large grade A chicken egg
Ring necked pheasant egg

I bought some quail eggs...and I still haven't figured out how a chick can fit in there. They are so small. Thanks B.

Huh?.....oh, I get it. They are "pheasants" not the same as saying "breed"....Elliot pheasant, Ring-necked pheasant, Copper pheasant Lady Amherst pheasant, etc...

Heritage Turkeys are the same... one breed many varieties...

I'm not quite awake. I've over slept again today.

2 chicken baluts

 

[Kiki]

I think I'm going to call it.

I just unplugged the bator. Looks like temps dropped a tad over night...

 

[Kiki]

I wonder if it dropped because a cold front came through...it's 55 and freezing! I'm going to wake up and wait until it warms up a little outside then I will be opening the eggs. I want to know if we can tell about how old they were/what day these chicken baluts were on.

 

[Morrigan]

No movement at all? It looked like there might be veins on a couple of these.

That was a disappointing part 2, but I guess still good for you because you got your new bator figured out before you get your quail!
