i'm afraid my eggs won't hatch, help me calm down a bit :D

[Kiki]

yeah they already kind of settled down, this morning when i put the newborn in the brooder for the first time the other one was definitely a lot more aggressive, even if the other wasnt getting near him, now it seems to be happening only if he tries to steal food or water from him, also, get ready for some cute quail chicks pics later today

Any more pips?

Any more pips?

doesn't seem like it, i'll check again in a bit, who knows maybe someone will finally decide to leave the egg ahaha, but yeah if they'll ever hatch they'll be like super late, today is day 20 (21 if counting from 1)

yep, checked again, no pips indeed. Next time the humidity drops and i'll have to add water i'll candle them all to see what's going on inside.

I wouldn't worry so much about adding more water. I'm beginning to wonder if maybe your humidity level has been too high the whole time.

I opened my bator a million times during lockdown and did not have any problems with any chicks hatching out on their own.

it's funny cause it's actually pretty low :/ it's hovering between 50 and 60% the first 14 days it was 30-40%.

it's most likely the temperature, as i said, that incubator isnt reliable at all, other thermometers were showing a lot of cold zones, down to 35.2 °C even

I don't think mine got above 55 during lockdown. I kept it near 30 throughout.

woot, everyone was telling me i needed to get it to around 60 at lockdown

 

[IceHax]

well, i'll go candle the eggs, let's see what i can find out

 

[IceHax]

ok, done that. i took out one which was dead for sure, the rest has a large dip in the airsack as you'd expect from a chick close to hatching, but i can see no movement :/ are they possibly dead?
