We have achieved lockdown.
Going into this without high hopes. Down to 8 eggs and now 2 of those are iffy. One is the last polish x and the other is a silkie. Down to 1 silkie and 5 EE/silkie. Can't tell much on the EE/silkie, not sure on one but I can't tell for positive so assuming it is viable.
Hoping for at least that one silkie and an ee or 2.....
Still nothing out of the quail.....but, I candled some chickens last night when I put them on lockdown and they are still kicking. Humidity was 76% this morning, is that too high? I took a plug out.

Your humidity is right on target, 75~80% is good. When quail hatch they will all start around the same time and they hatch very quickly compared to chickens. They pip & zip out in no time.
We're officially on lockdown for the 6 Partridge Penedesenca pullet eggs. I wish I could see better into these dark eggs. They're full looking, but it's so frustrating to not be able to see the little boogers move!
