I was just getting ready to ask you about your hatch. Sorry you are having trouble!

Things still might be ok. Think positive!

Nat, I am hoping for it to be like Christmas the next time you look at your eggs. I have never hatched so i have no clue what it takes. good luck.

just popped in again for a second. so much to catch up on, no time, no time...

Maybe they decreased fertility because it's getting cold / shorter days? I think that's what happened with my roo.

I started with 20 eggs in the incubator. (I had 16 shipped eggs but one broke when I marked it. I also added 5 of my own eggs. )

Of the 15 shipped eggs that I set, 9 were developed when I candled two days ago. All I could see was the air cell. I'm candling with a little maglite, so couldn't see more detail than that.
Of the 5 I set, only one developed. That is pretty much as I expected. Mr. Roo hasn't been very busy lately. He's moulting.

So, 10 potentials for the hatch. We'll hope all goes well. They should hatch sometime between now and Thursday night. Tomorrow or Thursday is my best bet. I'm hoping for late tomorrow or even better, Thursday! Since they are quail, they'll probably all pip, zip, and pop within a few hours. They tend to coordinate with each other more than chickens, though there can still be latecomers.

Of course, she didn't take the hint .. you told her she must be having a bad day .. letting her off the hook .. but she came back with how she had a wonderful day ...

I rolled my eyes at her and she doesn't think I believe she had a good day ..

Oh well .. some folks make a career of bursting bubbles .. She could have just read the story and moved on ...
