I have a fluffybutt! Two more are starting to chirp (I think for the second that one of the silkies stood up I saw a pip on one of the others) oh and my egg that got crunched earlier... It didn't make it.

Candled my quail eggs last night and just as I was finishing, the last egg to get candled had already started piping. Have had two early hatchers so far. Out of the 112 eggs I set, 38 were definitely not fertile and there were a few I wasn't sure about since the shells are dark. Hopefully, all 74 eggs will hatch. Here's a pic of one of the early hatchers.

soooooo little! I love them! this hatch I was going to incubate button quails, but I decided not to. I didn't know if they would need different humidity or anything...so I didn't. GOOD LUCK WITH THE REST!

I don't even believe it, but every fertile egg I have has made it to lockdown! The leghorns were confirmed infertile by the breeder so those I don't count. To my mind I had twelve eggs that ever would have developed, and I have twelve eggs in lockdown! I'm really excited. This is using my homemade incubator since my LG hates me and kills eggs left and right when I try to use it.

For those with humidity and temp issues, I use an accurite digital thermometer/hydrometer that I bought at Walmart for like eight dollars, and it is very accurate and works like a charm. I've used it on every hatch I've ever had. I'm a reptile person as well, and these are the things that are recommended for use with reptiles. If you're familiar with how touchy reptiles are and how carefully you need to maintain their environments, you know that's a really good endorsement. You can see it here in this picture of my eggs before the infertile leghorns were removed. It's the little black rectangle on the left.

Now I feel better, because that's the exact one I have!

im so excited.....im still waiting. soooooo......I EAT.

anyone else having this problem? LOL

LOL yes...not just food though, candy candy candy...my mom (who lives with hubby, kids and I) made peanut brittle for Christmas...there are three gallon ziplocs filled with the stuff...I'm already through 3/4 of one of the bags

It seems like a lot of people have rocking, peeping, pipping, etc. going on. Are those eggs set on the 11th? I'm getting confused, so it would help if a set time was given if the eggs were set early, so others don't feel like they're behind if they set on the 11th.

I had one egg rock today, one hour before lockdown. I set at 1:30 p.m. on the 12th. Have not seen any more rocking, nor have I heard any peeping.

my bator is IN MY ROOM! I may STAY UP ALL NIGHT and with for my chicks to finish! 2 pips now!

Mine is in my room, too...on top of my dresser. Now that I'm finally in lockdown, I'm gonna drive my hubby NUTS! All night long, flashlight in hand, checking to see if there are any pips...
I may end up getting served with divorce papers before this is over!
