Follow a teen's journey in hatching buff eggs!!

Just set my eggs today! Would love to follow how yours do. I had an incident with my last hatch, only one out of 36 eggs hatched, and it was of course a rooster lol. I hope everything goes well with your hatch

Haha thank you and oh no! Haven't been updating because of so many complications on my part but I'm sure yours will be fine. Good luck to you too!!

How many do you still have incubating? what do you think went wrong?

7, and I have no idea. Temp and humidity and turning was the same from my last succesful hatch. Maybe it was the fact that it was stored to long, some for 3+ weeks, and improper storage. The person I bought this from on craigslist didn't seem like she knew what she was doing and maybe snuck in some infertile eggs. (Confirmed infertile with more eggtopsy). If all of the survivors end of roosters, so help me God.

Tell me about it! I only have three in the bator now, and if they turnout to be roosters I'll loose it

The quail i had temp problems with just started pipping so don't stress the temp thing to much.

Oh does it make that much of a difference? I did pay about $40

You would have way better luck with a turner i tried a homemade bator with 4 quail eggs....they all died before hatching so i have more in my turner i know will do well and i would complain to the seller if i pay that much for old eggs and eggs that werent even fertile!
