AHHHHHH!!! I am officially in 'lockdown' mode for my quail eggs!!! :-O I'm so nervous!

Got my next lot arriving tomorrow and bought a proper incubator this time... I am determined to get it right!!!

Fantastic! Wish you luck. I have 4 breeding quads for eggs. But am new to quail. Chicks went into outside brooder 2 nights ago and are very happy. Have 67 eggs in the styrobator and hope this batch does well. I promised quail for thanksgiving.

I am pleased to announce that I have had my new batch of eggs in the inci over the last ten days, and out of 12 there are at least 7 I can see inside with lovely clear veins and a little 'cheep cheep' inside doing the macarena. Exciting days ahead!!! Second time lucky.

Woohoo! That is great news! My second hatch started this morning. There are over twenty I'm sure. Can't count them popping around. Hope you have many happy little chicks soon.

My second hatch of 72 eggs went well. All but 10 so far have hatched. I had one die and one with a bad leg that I can't fix. But all the other chicks are perfect. Good luck.

Congratulations, you obviously have had lots of practice XD Well done! ... For me, It's going a bit slow, but finally I can hear cheeping, the eggs are moving and two have started to 'pip'. COME ON CHICKIES!!

Transferred 50 chicks into outdoor brooder a couple hours ago.

They started hatching last Monday and finished Tuesday evening.

So...What happened with your hatch?

 

[Goodale13]

I have 4 so far!!! Two came out saturday night, another 2 on sunday. I have 3 eggs left, which I think (from candling) have something inside, 1 100% is ready to hatch - its chirping when I peep at it. So I have a few more to come yet, they are a little slow coming out but I am in no rush... I am just happy something came out of them

Got my fingers crossed for the rest, but the 4 that I have are so cute and just want to be held and warm all the time. They are adorable! Well done of your hatch! You must be very busy with so many bundles of fluff to look after!
