Alien green is typically a bad sign. Yellow is still good.Day 6:
I can't really tell anything with most of the quail eggs I candled. However, the next day after the eggs were set, a quail laid an egg w/o spots. (I put it into the incubator, of course.) I can see development in that one.

I only candled 2 turkey eggs. I didn't expect to see anything, but I can see a bit of shadow and veins in both.

The adult quail have learned how to eat from the feeder and drink using water nipples.
They stopped laying, breeding, and crowing. I hope they settle in and start laying again. I also want to hear the little male's crow.
Speaking of crowing, my 2 cockerels flipped the lid off of their rooster box last night. They must have been "free range" in the garage all night. This morning I heard A LOT of faint crowing, and it's very unlike them to make so much noise. The boys were strutting, crowing, & pooping all over the place. I wasn't very happy when I discovered the little party they were having.
I got to enjoy some of the nice weather this afternoon. I also got to enjoy the lightening show this evening.
