Anyone HATCHING?!?!? Newbie's and addicts WELCOME!!!! Hatch Calendar page 1!!!!

So I have 9 out of 12 hatched. The last one, had a small pip , so we helped break the shell a little and notice the membrane was drying up, so put a little water on my finger tip and wet the membrane and helped hatch her out...man was she ready, immediately she was sitting upright and bouncing all over the bator. I have one that was covered in yolk and not very responsive. She looks like she might have deformed wing, so we cleaned her a little and left her overnight in the bator. This morning she was alive, we were shocked. Still very sticky so I cleaned her some more and she is a little fighter. Everyone is out of the bator but her. I'm going to see if she continues to improve but I don't want to just prolong the inevitable either....

Where did you get the dog house if you don't mind me asking?? I have been looking for something affordable that I could use to turn into a coop, as I am not crafty at all and wouldn't know where to even start building my own from scratch, lol

Now these were not shipped & proven fertile birds. So I guess that means I have a 58 + 34 + 15 + 14 + 30 +

i just looked on craigslist...there were quite a few to choose from in the Atlanta area and all looked awesome..but this one was insulated and ventilated....you just couldn't make it for that much let alone buy one like that...

I saw one at the Feed and Seed Supply Store and it was nearly $150 for one not near as big and very cheaply made...I will take a pic and show you guys...it was an awesome find.

Have you ever hatched pheasants? I'm really wanting a few of those beauties like the red and gold or Lady Amhearsts. And Quails are probably on my spring list

Chicken math, turkey math, quail math, pheasant math, whatever you call it = MAJOR Addiction!!

I would love to have quail. I have read that they are friendly, but I would hate to think of me hatching more birds that are fertile faster and hatch quicker than chickens! My DH would strangle me for sure!
