looks good!
Just remember the more you open the incubator the more problems you will have. so be very careful

Congrats on the hatches

I'm not opening the 'Bator again until the morning. The unhatched chick's membrane is clear still, plus it's zipping it.

I'm sure if I leave it alone, it will do fine. The other chick is resting. Which they seem to do a lot of just after hatching.....

Yes they love to rest then join in on a game of egg football

I figure that chewing thru the membrane, then the shell and then popping out and unfolding would take a bit of energy.....

Whoops, dbl post....

 

[Rainwolf]

Yes but just like desert...

Theres always energy for a game of egg football! or egg hockey or egg soccer or all of the above!

Come new years I'm gonna have a lot of egg players running around creating chaos

Welcome to the addiction!

Pretty soon you will have them popcorn bugs running around everywhere! (quails)
and the peepers are a lot of fun too! (chickens)

I'm running out of brooders and space

but then when you find you have to many you can sell or freezer camp and hatch MORE!

It is an addiction!

My little popcorn bugs are likely going to a farm run by an old co-worker. I will be moving the adult quail back outside now that I have a much better place for them. I'm sad to see them go back outside, but we need the space in the house.

One of my Quail chicks stands straight up and peeps very loudly. I think he's standing on his soapbox and proudly proclaiming that he is the first to hatch (which he was).

The Chick chick is moving about the 'Bator and drying nicely. He will go in the Brooder later tonight or tomorrow. I may need to help the other chick hatch, but I will wait until later this morning before I help..... They first pip was sometime around 5 or so in the evening.....

Woo hoo!! the second chick has hatched!!! The first chick is bone dry and in the Brooder. MAN IS IT NOISY!!!! PEEP PEEP PEEP PEEP PEEP!!!!

The second one is in the 'Bator drying and is resting. It cheeps too, but not as loudly.

It's 2:37 AM Pacific Standard Time, I'm exhausted. Good night all!!
