Eliminating Bad Eggs (quail)

[AJoy16]

Due to the light & dark patches of most of my quail eggs, I've found it nearly impossible to see veining too. You can semi automate your egg 'turning' without opening your incubator by lifting one edge of the incubator up and placing a small object like a pencil under that edge. Several hours later, you can remove the pencil and place it under the incubator on the opposite side. This is typically sufficient movement of the egg to satisfy the need of turning the eggs. In addition to being easier, it will reduce the time needed to perform the turning and eliminate the wild temperature fluctuation that occurs when the incubator is open for more than a minute or two due to the time needed to candle or rotate eggs.
Surprisingly, less is more when it comes to hatching quail eggs. Less opening the incubator (less loss of heat and humidity), less fidgeting with the eggs (less chance of contaminating the eggs with bacteria) , and you'll see that once hatched that less handling of your chicks (less stress on them) will all improve their comfort and health.

THANK YOU. I hadn't thought about that!
That was like a golden nugget of info I hadn't found anywhere in all my reading and videos.
Seriously thank you
