I have not set them. it rained and some ar dirty then it was very cold . Not sure how good this batch would be.

They don't hatch when dirty???

Quote: have you washed them? did you use a cleaner on them? if they candle and no cracks and not watery they should be fine. you remember all my refridge eggs hatched EVERY ONE!

Not sure what a watery egg would look like. I did feel all them up and toss cracks LOL I will research water and candle them tonight I guess. Just wanting to see if I fixed the bator .

Linda, you should do a quail hatch now, and get more eggs for the HAL. More quail chicks=more happiness!!
