27 Eggs into Lockdown last night

1st pip this morning..... hoping for a whole lot more by the time I get home from work

Coturnix are done. I can't believe only 4 chicks out of 4 dozen eggs.
three more king quails hatched which brings the total to 16, I'll give the other 6 eggs some time just in case. Waiting on the Leghorns to pip now and still a while for the ducks

I’m upping the humidity today for lockdown, but not by much. It’s been so humid lately, I’ve practically done a dry hatch this time. In all these years, and constantly incubating the last five months, I have never had such an easy time with humidity.

I have 13 of my own eggs set so in a few weeks im hoping for some chocolate wyandottes and a few other random eggs

Oh man! 4 out of 4 dozen?? Were they shipped eggs? I feel like the shipped eggs this year have been really hard to hatch. That's a bummer! This hatch of Coturnix that I just hatched was a mix of shipped eggs and my own, and almost all of my homegrown babies hatched but only about 30% of the shipped eggs hatched. Glad your king quails are hatching! I would love to see some pics of teeny king quail babies!

Yes they were shipped but I started out poorly with a lot of clears. thankfully I have enough females from my last hatch that I should be able to hatch some of my own from now on.
They are all hiding under the massive brooder plate at the moment and are in a big brooder so hard to get photos when they do run out lol. I'll take heaps once their smaller brooder arrives which should be tomorrow, but for now here is one of the kings with one of the coturnix.
