That's part of the reason I like quail eggs: You can't see in them at all, so you can't candle. It's annoying and worry-free all at once

I want quail, though no one on BYC seems to be selling eggs right now. Odd.

I can go pick some up nearby and ship them to you if you'd like

My Welsummers from my first hatch were unidentifiable until Day 9 when I could tell one was clear. With dark shells I recommend waiting until Day 10 to worry.

Thank you, I was very worried it's my first time with them a friend had some and since I was I planning a hatch anyway well you know the more the merrier lol but I could already see my rir, buff, and br starting to develope.

Thank you we try and work hard. A start in building new incubator we try to give our son a little bit of Halloween by using past years decorations. I don't have a big farm but love my chickens pigs rabbits dogs cats. House full of life. He was Leonardo last year. It still fit so he will be it again these year .so he can go to his activity on Halloween day. Morning my gym event children fitness Halloween party should be fun for him. And we have a moms group party in the evening at chucky cheeses should also be fun for him.

LOL@ CGilbert. Just finished candling some more eggs. I did NOT date them ............was in a bit of shock over a lossed loved one. It's all good now just going by candling brail......

WHat are ya'lls thoughts on refrigerating eggs prior to incubation? I've seen some posts on others threads about this but as often as everyone here hatches..........I would like your opinion.

My bator issue is finally fine tuned! No helping any chicks but one out of my last hatch. The young man watching the house for us left the heat up to 102 and 2 of the poor little ones were panting so hard they guzzled fluids when I got them out.....the other one gave up so just laid it down in the brooder with the others and it was more than ready! It just rolled over and got up before flopping to rest. My hygrometers have been the culprit. If I leave them at 85% no issues the last two batches. After all this at least there's a resolution.

How does quail taste?
Good luck with hatches. Sorry about your Wheaten. I think I'm going to lose all of my Blue Laced Red Wyandotte eggs. I'm excited about lavender though. I have lavender ameraucana in my incubator too. Fingers crossed for you.

It's all dark meat. I can't think of anything to compare it to but it does taste better wrapped in bacon imo. Thanks, sorry about your BLRW. I want to get more lavender ameracaunas but can't find them anywhere. These came eggs from a member here. Hoping all else goes well on your hatch. Good luck!

Everything tastes better wrapped in bacon
