cool setup! what are the baby food jars for?

 

[TheRealTimShady]

they are used as heatsinks to keep the temp more stable

Good luck with the hatch Mibotsu. Of course we will need more pictures once those babies hatch!

alrighty, I've been VICIOUSLY watching the incubator, so far i see 2 eggs that have tiny cracks in them, like a beak is pushing from the inside

, almost can't stand the waiting!

quail are like popcorn

once one starts the rest follow

 

[TwoCrows]

Yeah!!!

 

[TheRealTimShady]

now there are 4 with cracks :E(very very small cracks mind you, but the shell is still pushing out not in, so i know its the bird breaking it)

You ever heard the saying 'a watched pot never boils'? Well, a watched bator never hatches....leave it alone

Mine usually mostly hatch overnight, probably because I set them in the evenings...but they still hatch when I'm not looking

oh i know, i just can't help but hover over it, staring endlessly
