EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[DwayneNLiz]

Sort of useless to double box like that.

agreed, just space for the inner box to slam around in

Thanks all!!

now i just need to go back to the other thread and see if i can fin out how his hatch went ROFL

maybe i'll just do it to half and see what happens and not go search the other thread

I tried just now, couldn't find.
I remember that I asked him to put them randomly with standart eggs, in his bator to exclude the influence of hot/cold points in his bator on the hatching %. He didn't tell me what he have done.

8 of 12 Leghorn still look good.
Tossed clears.

6 of 6 RIR look good!

I had initially set 15 quail eggs

There are 27 now

OF THE EGGS THAT I REMOVED THE "PAINT" FROM THE SHELL ON THE QUAIL EGGS.....

4 of 5 look good.

I do not think the hot vinegar bath affects the hatchability.

I am curious to try this on CHICKEN eggs.

It is pretty cool, But it only helps for candling purposes.

HUGE difference

Then I let the eggs sit in the bath for 5 minutes, and rinsed with the same temp water.

Stuck in the bator immediately

[COLOR=B42000] [/COLOR] For those unawares I am doing an experiment with this hatch I let 5 of the quail eggs sit in 100 degree vinegar, checked with a thermo, for between 5 and 6 minutes. I hope to be able to candle Coturnix Quail eggs more easily by removing the "paint" on the shell. I only selected less than 12 grams eggs for this purpose, selected at random. I would like to see if this decreases Hatchability, or is neutral.

It is super easy to candle the quail eggs this way
HUGE difference

I simply heated some cider vinegar in the microwave(a few seconds) and checked with my meat probe that it was 100 F. Then I let the eggs sit in the bath for 5 minutes, and rinsed with the same temp water.

[/quote] Exactly! You can see that he put all the treated eggs in one row, if his bator have a cold/hot point there that could influenced his hatch success and he would contribute it to the vinegar treatment without knowing that was the the temp Problem.

agreed, i would move them all over the place, but in another post he said 4 of 5 were doing well

Ok!
Didn't see it.

@Sally Sunshine, a silkied lavender hatched! I'm super excited! There are 2 more eggs in there from her. I thought I only had 2 but apparently I set 3.

I realy wish yours would've hatched for you.

Can you imagine if that were a human newborn how large it would be?
If it's not the largest I've ever gotten, it's close.

My triple yoker last year was just a bit bigger, but I agree someone hurt.
