hello

[aliciatanner97]

my name is Alicia, i am i junior in high school. i have been apart of the poultry farm life for four years now. i love it, i love breeding my birds and i love spending time with them. i have a dog who enjoys them though only when the are grown up. my dad and i built our incubator for my Christmas present this year though it worked well and hatched out a swell amount of chickens, but i don't understand why it has not hatched out my turkey eggs or my quail eggs. if you have any advice about maybe why it has not worked i would love to hear it.

Greetings Alicia!

You may want to try posting in Incubating and Hatching eggs. Perhaps some details about your hatch attempts, incubator, temperatures, humidity, and results may be helpful.

It may also be helpful to review https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/...hing-eggs-important-topic-index-please-review

Welcome to BYC!

Congrats on some of the successful hatches! As for the quail and turkey eggs, quail are very sensitive to hatch. Turkeys have a long incubation cycle as well. So I would do some asking around in the Quail and Turkey sections here on BYC and try to figure out what went wrong.

Good luck with your next hatch and all your flock and welcome to ours!
