First time incubating Coturnix eggs! Set today! pg 2

[Attack Chicken]

Thank you so much! I'll have to call the feed store tomorrow and seeif they have the game bird starter!

Saddina's took up to 23 days to hatch, but her temps were very low, and I believe she only got 2 eggs to hatch.

3 Hatched, one was weak and hatched covered in poo, and didn't last the night. The other 2 are going strong. 3 others piped but couldn't get out, when I checked them they were just in there too tight, 1 of the 2 survivors was an assisted hatch, at that point it was get him out or he wouldn't make it thru. Hubby just installed a wafer thermomostat thingy, and we're using 4 eggs from our hens before we order more shipped eggs.

Well I couldn't set them this morning because we had some very bad storms come through and lost power. I'm hoping I can set them tonight.

 

[Attack Chicken]

Okie! I set them today after the storms. 24 of them are in there! I really need to get quail cups for the turner.

Coturnix eggs should fit in the regular cups. If you don't plan on raising quail, I wouldn't waste the money on the quail turners.

ETA: Good luck on your hatch!
