Button quail Egg-topsy from float test..... **pictures**GRAPHIC!!!

[jfulcher]

Okay so I had terrible temp variations so I did a float test.... Here are the pictures of the eggs I dissected:
Dead Embryo(should have been 14 days progress)

Embryo and Dud

I will admit I was scared to do the float test.... I knew I would have lost some... Idk if others were too young to tell from the float test so I didn't pay mind to the results with them.. But 2 of my 3 due thursday are still supposedly viable! And about 8 of my 12 floated... Sooo... I think as long as I have no quitters then things should be peachy.

Very big learning experience... It scared and hurt me to crack open one of my "babies"..

i think most of us hatchers have done it we wanna know what went wrong and how far along did it go.
