I understand that this thread is old but the information is still relevant. Also the same people that complain about old threads also say use the search feature which will bring up old threads.
Has anyone else tried hatching quail eggs without any turning? Did you get handicap chicks?
Thanks
Some of this information is def relevant, I live in Southern LA and I must dry incubators at least. But on Turning? Turning eggs is for the embryo to receive the nutrition it needs, and so that it does not get stuck to any one part of the shell, and That could definitely handicap a baby getting stuck inside the egg is very common. Its recommended to turn eggs 3-5 Xs a day, more is better. If your having trouble turning a bunch of itty bitty eggs by hand, you might consider stabilizing the eggs and turning the incubator, Or turning the eggs by rolling them all in a line/row from one side to the other.
