I never had any luck, really. Some of the lighter ones I could see, but not nearly as well as other types of eggs. I just candled around day 10, and tossed clears and kept any that weren't clear.

OK . Its my first time hatching quail and the sure seem tricky. Of course I have a hard time seeing through my maran x eggs that are in the bator too...the spots make it harder even :/

Nah, Me and DMRippy live pretty close. We both have Silver Pencilled Bantams, But hers are laying right now, and wanted to test fertility. Candled em again and see more fertile ones. its just really light
