Hello everyone, I'm incubating my first batch of quail eggs. Tonight would be considered the beginning of day 12 and I just candled the six (of 12) that i was able to see veining on when I candled on day 6. (Wow, hopefully that makes sense). I am now thinking that I am down to 3 viable eggs, but I have not removed any at this point.
I have been reading up on what to do in the case of strange looking air cells. I do not think that any of them are actually detatched but they are definitely not quite normal. There is a saddle shape, but it only entends downward on on one side. They have been on their side in the incubator with an automatic turner, but I'm wondering now if i should have paid the extra 20$ for the turner that holds the eggs more upright. Anyway. I'm looking for opinions on if I should stop turning early and put them blunt end up in an egg carton for the rest of the hatch like people have recommended with chickens. Or should I just leave them be?
Thanks for any thought or opinions! I've learned a lot from reading posts on here for a while now and I figure I might as well jump in the community!
