Disappointing Coturnix Hatch

[Adri_San27]

I've lost count of the days now (probably 25 by now). I had a single chick hatch early, but it died the next day. Temperature is around 100 F, not sure exact humidity but I have the Hoverbator with the sections for water to create proper humidity. I've had a couple eggs get splits in them and start leaking---anyone know what causes this? Some of the eggs feel heavier than the others, like there might be a chick inside. Is it time to throw in the towl and dump them??

Sorry to hear the disappointing result, but I am pretty sure nothing will come out after 25 days. Are these shipped eggs?

 

[Adri_San27]

Yep >_<

They probably got too damaged during shipping. I would say it's time to dump them and try again. Sorry.

 

[Adri_San27]

Nooooo lol. I think I'm going to try ordering from a different company next time. The first eggs they gave me all hatched brown (every single one even though I ordered an assortment!!) and now this batch failed. *sighs*

I would offer to ship you some, but they'd be coming cross country, so not sure if you want to gamble on that. I have brown, white, golden, rosetta, and tuxedo.

 

[Adri_San27]

Actually that would be awesome! The rosetta's have been kind of hard to find, and I only have one tuxedo and no goldens!!

Sounds like they were scrambled during shipping.

Is your bator a still air?

 

[Adri_San27]

Yes it is

Ok, if you want I'll send them to you for $15. That should cover shipping. My PayPal e-mail is [email protected] and I can probably get you a couple dozen to send out by Monday.
