Feed question

[RosieR]

Yea, dark eggs with an airsac go back in clear eggs go in the trash

Any harm in leaving them all in? I’m new and don’t trust my candling skills lol

I didn't trust mine either on my first hatch the other day. After my hatch I candled my eggs and found 12 were clear and 5 were dark. I left all 17 eggs in another 2 days and 1 of the 5 dark ones hatched....

Yea if they are clear after being in the incubator 14 days, they were never fertile

I have the same issue, i can get 19% protein. Anything higher is a little difficult to get hold of. I am thinking of grinding 200g of dried meals worms and add it to ground 800g of 19% feed. This should give me something about 25% protein. I am planning to feed this to newly hatched quail chicks.I was wondering if anyone could advise if this is ok? It will be my first hatch.

2 hatched yesterday evening 2 this morning and 34 today while i was at work. Still several pipped. I did have to help one a little. But they all running around and happy so no harm done there
