Awesome! That's the one I want! along with a brinsea ovation, and all the other bators in the world.
You'll have to tell us if it works as good for you as most other people here!

Giving the standard coop a bit of a Renovation. Removing old faulty nesting boxes my grandpa created originally, I put crates to use as nesting boxes last year because I got tired of eggs rolling off the board.

Well, no more crates for nesting boxes anymore. Got a head start on the back wall yesterday. Tore down the old nesting platform, & set up the first two actual nesting boxes. Gonna demolish the other one on the front wall, & set up the last 3 nesting boxes later.

@MysteryChicken do you ever candle during lockdown?

Yes.

 

[ButtonHoarder]

Yes.

Do you think it would be a bad idea for me to do it? Button quail incubation is 16-18 days I think.

I don't think it will hurt. Most people say not to, because they believe it disrupts the hatching position. Never had an issue.

I usually do little check ups to monitor their progress. Doing this will also identify who has died.
