The fish tank tubing works great. Just get the clear tubing that you use for fish tanks, they bend better than straws, and then use the syringe to add the water.
They look good!
What do you think day 14. What is that smear?

Quote:where have you been researching incubation?Here on BYC, just reading threads and looking at what others are doing/have done. I like holding hands! Music to my ears. I'm a show me type of person, so I'm nervous just trying it on my own. Its good for you, dont you know that? Do you know that you need to buy some extra thermo/hygros for your incubator because you should never rely on the one that came with it? Nope, but I will buy them tomorrow. Any suggestions on brands? Not really I buy cheap ones, see the hatching 101 article in the temp section a few are listed there, walmart, amazon you can find them anywhere, and you always need to calibrate and make sure your spot on? This I do know, I had to calibrate my fish tank heaters, but it's been a long while. again the hatching 101 article can refresh you on how to do it. Do you know that the best eggs to start out with are local eggs, they have to be fresh eggs, and yea its best if they are fertilized
but you know that! but seriously less that 10 days from lay is always best! Do you have access to local eggs to practice with? My quail actually just started laying 3 days ago, I'm up to 10 eggs. They are most definitely fertile, much to my daughter's never ending amusement. good place to start! do you eat quail? Do you have any dream breeds you would like? Well, I miss my Easter edgers and the colored eggs I was going to get. I'd like a few true Ameraucanas, but that's a needle in a haystack search. Hamburgs are pretty, I'd like a couple Jersey Giants someday. great breeds! How many questions is too many to ask when you first meet someone? Is there ever too many? Nah!!! Thank you for humoring me sure thank you too!
I like you already!!! sounds like you need to keep collecting quail eggs, what type are they? and storing them in a cool location, see the article on what eggs and how long to keep them... get the bator running and thermos/hygros calibrated and get started! I think casyV is the quail hatcher and a few others hatch alot, lets see who can jump on to help also with hatching a few for the first time! do any neighbors have any eggs you can steal to try? ask around! even local eggs at stands sometimes are fertile! just to practice and sell off cheap on CL
