Disaster Themed Hatchalong and guess the hatch rate on scrambled shipped eggs

[GreenJay]

Day 10: all eggs look good, veins are visible again in most, will be just mysterious shadows from here on out, let’s hope those shadows grow!

Yay little quail! Keep up the great work!
Go Fitzgerald!

Day 12: pulled a home egg, dead day 5ish, 10% early embryonic death in home eggs vs 33% in shipped eggs, but others progressing, 8 shipped and 6 home left. Lockdown in 48 hours.

Let's go disaster quail, lockdown time! Come on Fitzgerald!

Brace yourselves, we’re in lockdown. Air cells (if I can find it!) are looking ridiculous on the shipped eggs. Home eggs are dark and boring. I got the spare incubator going and separated the 8 shipped from the 6 home eggs. Tonight is day 14, most of my eggs hatch day 16 with a rare day 15 and a few day 17. Not sure if the shipped eggs will take a bit longer due to a week in the mail or not, at least I have control eggs to test that hypothesis! My final prediction is 4 shipped chicks and 6 home chicks, but it is amazing anything can hatch from those crazy air cell eggs! I’ll keep you posted, hopefully Fitzy hatches, I’m hoping for a nice rooster!

Feel free to toss out names, we’ll see how many babies we actually get! First pip in a home egg, late day 14. Hatch day likely 16 on home eggs, maybe day 17 on shipped. Hopefully cute baby pics after that!
