APRIL Quail Hatch-A-Long!!! (come join!)

candling results?

Oh shoot! I totally forgot to

I got my first batch of CX last night and got distracted. AND my ducklings moved outside so I basically just sat around watching my chicks and ducks all of yesterday and forgot to do anything else

I'm only day 5, I'll take pictures of the eggs when I do so on day 7

I do know just from candling a few that the air sacs are very irregular from terrible shipping. My package was very damaged but somehow only one egg actually cracked. Still could really affect my hatch rate though.

Did you discuss the damaged package with Zack. Keep him updated on your hatch!

No I haven't yet, I thought I might just comment on the next YouTube livestream

if my still air incubator was down to 99.0 (around 97.0) for 8-12 hours, will that affect my hatch

It could, but don't throw the eggs out or anything. I think they will probably be fine. My first incubation I accidentally incubated at 89-90 the entire time - for chicken eggs, and they still incubated just not ready till like day 30. I know better now don't worry. I didn't have any extra thermometers that time, now I use tons.

You should text him directly to discuss that stuff.....the lives get too crazy for him to adequately address specific cases.
