Bob white quail thread!!

I just set 84 bobs yesterday; hatch date of 9/16. I started out with an unreliable thermometer, so I'm hoping that a slightly fluctuating temp for the first day and a half won't hurt them. My new therm arrives tomorrow night.

I just finished a hatch of chickens that didn't go well, so I'm really hoping I've made all the right changes.
 
I had my bators out in an building I called the nursery , out side the house, anyway temps here got so bad and the temps wet very high before I just brought them back inside... Probs with their feet and lost more than usual
 
I just set 105 bob eggs that are due to hatch Sept. 15; First time for ordering eggs online and having them shipped, I got the eggs from Carolina Gamebird Farm in South Carolina. The eggs arrived packaged very well, ordered 100, got 105 and none of them were broken or cracked. I let them rest for 2 days before putting them in my Leahy 416 bator, now just have to patiently wait!!
 
I've got 100 bobwhites in lock down now.. Just started pipping and zipping... 118 due the 10th to lockdown
 
My Bob-Whites keep giving me the evil eye. B-)

The roos are starting to pluck each other and showing off a little too much so I've been thinking a lot lately of grilling a few of them up.
 
Ok I've heard a lot about snowflake quail, but no one I ask will answer me so ill ask here. Are snowflakes sterile?
