all who are hatching quail

[peanut1981]

I don't have the thermometer in my incubator right now. I don't have any in lock down until next weekend. I've had 3 hatches this far and I am 80% on all eggs that were fertile. The other 20% died in the shell.

Out of the 5 eggs that needed to hatch yesterday 3 have pip cracks.. 2 died.. i had to candle them because i put them against my ear and didnt hear anything... here is what they looked like when i craked them open.. one is bigger then the other but have the same yolk size..

And yes the glass thermometer is the most accurate that you can find, but it doesn't give humidity.

Temp and humidity was to low.

These are what I'm currently using in my incubator. That incubator I'm not worried about because I use a digital thermostat in it.

Ok I'll be extra careful ... My humidity is 80 temp on the glass one is 100 the reptile one reads 98.1 the walmart one reads 99 and 77 humidity..

It's probably close to 99.5

Wow these little ones hatched out on day 25th...i put them on lockdown on day 21... why are they taking long to hatch??

Maybe the temps were running a little on the low side?

Ok so 10 of my 13 eggs hatched, 2 died soon after hatching, one was funny shaped and the other didn't absorb all of its egg yolk. The last 8 are alive and healthy, and ever so cute.






I think I have some wild colored, a silver, a white, red breasted?, and maybe golden pearl (not sure, lighter chipmunks than wild coloring). The third picture is red breasted color right?

They are so tiny and dart around so quickly. I love them already.
