I am hatching eggs for the first time,quail and chicken to be exact. I think I made boo boos. After reading different posts, I think my eggs are upside down in the incubator. I have about 7 or 8 days left before hatching day. Should I set them the other way? Will they make it?

Tough to say. Have you candled them to see the position and size of the air sac. . .is there any movement? Jump over to the incubating/hatch page. I'm sure there are folks who could better guide you on that site.
Good luck and Welcome!

I can see little bumps on the back of one or two of my chicks. Their pin feathers are coming in on their necks and they look like the Skeckzies off Dark Crystal. Lol

Bumps on back of ankles, I meant.

Oh my goodness. I have some egg hatching questions. I hope someone can help me. I'm a newbie to hatching eggs and on my quail I have about 7 days before they are due.

Hi and welcome to BYC and the ALABAMA!! thread. Wea re glad you joined us and will help anyway we can.

Smilin - I think if they were mine, I would take them out of the carton or turner and lay them on their sides. They can roll around and position themselves if they have room. Candling is a good idea, do some quick research to get an idea how they should look before you try it. I really think you may still get some chicks. Don't fret, mistakes happen, you meant no harm and even if it has a harmful effect this time, you have learned and will not do it again. I lost 40 fully formed chicks on a batch this year. Don't beat yourself up.

Welcome, Welcome to all the newbies. Even the one from GA.

We'll just let anybody in here as long as they are willing to say ROLL TIDE.

Anyway, Here it is for those who have expressed interest in obtaining one of my ameraucana hens. I have a very limited number available. If you are interested you may pick up here or I will deliver to the Chicken and Egg festival in Moulton. These will be presales only. I will not be bringing extras and please consider this a commitment as I don't want to bring these back home. I have other plans.

I can also bring hatching eggs for the ams, bantam cochins, easter eggers, olive eggers, BCM or blue and black orps which may be split to lavender.
Chicks for these breeds may also be available to presales.

Please let me know if you are interested as 3 hens are already spoken for.

Feel free to send a pm or contact me on my facebook page @ Self Creek farm.

Oh, and I forgot to say that I will be there Sat. Only.
