Halloween ~ Hatch Day!

[Quail_Antwerp]

UGH NO PIPS here nothing no cheeping nothing...and I keep having to add water because the humidity will NOT go up above 48%

Last hatch the humidity was 65%-75% and I only had 4 hatch....maybe I will have a better hatch this time since the humidity won't go over 48%?

Oh and the straw with the syringe thing works great!!

Is it Halloween yet?!

I had to put a wet wash cloth in mine to up the humidity...off to check again

OMG... peeping and rocking but has a single one pipped? Of course NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Evidently a semi-grown up adult can hold her breath for 36 hours. I'm pretty sure I have. But I may soon go with a version of the head-wall, and use head-desk here shortly.

quail you need to get your humidity up . If your plugs are out put one in and the other turn it upside down and cover half the other hole. Put some water in the microwave and using your straw method add the hot water to your bator wait ten minites and let me know if it comes up. Try to at least reach over 60 but 64 if you can

quick question, what about air flow if I put in one of the plugs? will they still get plenty of air?

 

[Jamie821]

I would try but they wouldnt hear me the one that is hatched is making enough noise this house needs right now. He keeps saying okay guys come on I need a friend

 

[Jamie821]

they will be fine in the dry hatch method you keep both plugs in but I keep one half open
