Hatched 63 out of my 70 eggs. Looks to be at least 4 different color phases. Couldn't be happier. Thank you idhound.

I'm hoping for many different also. do you have any pictures? congrats on your hatch.

This is what hatched on the first day. Not the greatest pic. I will take some better ones.

Thanks for the feedback I am way excited to see a 90% hatch on the eggs I ship. but Tdubg22 you have to take some of the credit you had you incubator set up and running perfect. that can make all the difference. I can say yes my eggs are fertile and I have hit high 90's here but I also have to say thanks to Post Office for handling them great. i would say all in all everything went perfect on these eggs i do mark boxes live embryo which my post man said works better then eggs so they don't x-ray box and kill eggs. i also think some of it has to do with where I live high altitude so when they are laid and shipped to lower elevations they do better. I do sit up around 5000 ft. mark. and my birds are use to cold weather minus 30 in winter. But heck yes i am excited to hear great results.

PLs could you read my thread and tell me what i am doing wrong these are courtinix quails

first where did you get your eggs? second did you turn them at least 4 times a day? recommend auto turner. temp on incubator was it 99.5? humidity will be different according to who you talk to I incubate my at 30% until lock down then high as i can get it but not above 87%. this is where i would start. and you need to keep temp at 99.5 through lock down.

Got my eggs from idhound. One was cracked but they were packaged great. I think it might have happened before shipping. 52 eggs go into the incubator in the morning. I'm so excited to hatch them.

hatched 8 of 12 jumbo last nite coturnix , eggs laid by my own flock. #9 is struggling to break open, about 2/3 done. got another batch of 24+eggs in cartons ready to go in. this is getting fun but gotta make more **** cages-wife is tapping her foot with arms crossed by now but she loves the chickies. thinking of shipping eggs/chicks out but not sure if worth the money or effort. hovabator 1602n is having a busy spring already. not bad at all considering i rescued the rooster/hens from a local dirty poulty place full of dirty chickens late jan with no experience breeding birds. hows everyone else doing?
