eggtopsy - what stage of development in these overdue unhatched eggs?

[Gypsy07]

To me it sounds like it's the eggs that were to blame and not your incubating skills or the power outage. I'm not sure about quail, but I can't imagine they'll be that much different to chickens. 83F for a few hours shouldn't wreak that much havoc with healthy fertile eggs. Neither should the humidity drop, if it was for less than a day.

D) Totally dried up yolks: Sounds to me like very old eggs. Or poorly stored in extremely low humidity.

E) Runny yolks: Sounds to me like infertile eggs. More likely to be that than very early deaths anyway.

B) Almost fully developed, organs on outside: Sounds like a deformed one that would have died no matter what.

I think the problem has mainly been due to the quality of the eggs, storage and possibly the stock birds. I dont think the power outage has been responsible here or there would have been many more mid-late term DIS. I would advise trying eggs from another source and if possible keep your temp towards 99.5F.

Best of luck with future eggs

Yes, it was the first time from that source, so I'll go back to my original source, he was just out of town for a month.
