Button quail late hatch

[Magic Birdie]

I turned them at around 6, 4, and 9.

Ah and I forgot to ask is this your first time incubating anything? 

Yup

 

[BunnyBuns]

Yup

Heh me 2! Anyway could I get a picture of your incubator if you don't mind? Oh and what did they look like when you first got them from the shipper? Were any cracked? Were they dirty?

I'll get a picture uploaded someday. The eggs were nice. None were cracked. Some had a bit of dried poo, but not much.

one thing you missed is if your eggs are shipped you should let them sit and calm down from shipping, those guys can be rough, at around 60-70 degrees temp for at least 24 hours before putting them in the incubator which at this point should have been running for a week of so, so that you can be sure of the temp and humidity levels, try using 2 thermometers and hydrometers. and remember every time you open the incubator the temp and humidity fall. this is why it takes a bit longer to hatch. I hope you also remembered to open your vents at day 13-14 for added oxygen. Be patient and you will be rewarded. Good luck. If you state Button quail in your heading on here for more questions they will get answered faster.

Oh my I did not open the vents on that day!! I'm going open them now.

Uh, thanks. I did let them sit for a full day after receiving them. Also, the title of this thread is "Button quail late hatch", and the other "Button quail log", so I'm not sure what you mean.

Anyway, day 21 rolls around... Still the same as it's always been.

Bunnybuns, if we end up both trying again, want to do it at the same time?

Sure! It was fun finding out that someone was hatching the same thing I was on the same day! Who do you think you will order from?

Probably the same person.

Probably the same person.

Okay, and what day do you think you will order them if you do? Also you should read the incubating part of this http://www.barnofangels.com/Chinese_Painted_Button_Quail.htm it gave me allot of good information!
