I have 5 Coturnix in my incubator on day 11. I candled on day 8 but have never done it before so I'm not sure if we have good eggs or not, although 2 or 3 did look a little darker inside. Anyway, had anyone ever used an aquarium as a brooder? I have a big plastic tote I can use but this aquarium is ready to go. I have a heat lamp, but what size bulb should I start with? I am in eastern NC and the temp for the next week or so will be in the 60's during the day. The brooder will be placed on the screened porch unless my 9 year old convinces his mother that he can keep them in his room!
