First time hatching

Thanks WvDuckchick. I took the vents out, temp stays at 100 and humidity holding at 44%

I had 12 eggs in the incubator - many were washed and put in the fridge before I decided to incubate them. They hatched. The fridge and washing did nothing negative. They were in the fridge about three days.

Good to know!

I will also add, just for the record (disclaimer lol), there is some big study out there that compares CO2 levels and such on different days and I think recommends less ventilation on some particular early days, but I have had very good hatch rates with mine wide open, so I stick to what works for me.

OK thanks. to get your humidity up stick a sponge in the incubator.

14 Days to go. I tried candling last night. Didnt see much. Eggs are all a darker brown. Candler came with the incubator. I could see a few shadows of yolk and speckles but nothing else.

I will candle tomorrow and give you a update.

You could try this, but you'll need to wait until later.

Great video. Thanks for the info.

Hello! I am still fairly new here. So I hope I am posting this in the right category! Lol. I was wondering, if I ordered a few different breeds of quail, could I hatch them in the same incubator at the same time? Please help!

 

[jbillings]

yes you could
