Quick question. Is a rounded 2x4 the right size for a roost?

That will be perfect. I rip my 2x4's and use them as roosts...

What about the air sac? Does the egg look normal? What i have researched it doesnt look like anything i find for a day 5 or 7. Thanks guys!! I think i will up the temp by .5!

It's actually a little large for day 7. Might want to bump up the humidity and check air cell size again on day 14 to determine whether to go up, down, or stay the same at that point.
 
Alrighty, folks... that's it for me. Got a busy day ahead of me tomorrow, so I have to call it a night. It's a night. I hope everyone has a great night, and an even better tomorrow!

GOOD NIGHT, ONE AND ALL!!!!!!!!

Someone, either here or on the EHAL thread asked to see the egg rack that I was making to go into my homemade turner tray. Now I made one critical error. I estimated the size of the coturnix quail too narrow so this rack is going to be for button quail. I also suggest that you make them not as one big block that fill the whole tray but in segments of 12 or 18 so that if you are only setting 25 then the entire tray is not used up and you can fit other sized racks in.

So button quail size is 3/4 inch PVC pipe. Coturnix quail is 1 inch. Bobs and Jumbo Cots are most likely going to be 1 1/4 to 1 1/2. There is one person on Ebay selling some monster Cot eggs that are almost 2 inches long.

So I had a clamp and razor devise for cutting PEX pipe witch is softer. It only scores the PVC but it helps you keep your sawing even when you cut with a hacksaw. By all means if you have a jig saw use it. I am going to see if they make a clamp cutter for PVC because that would be so much easier. I made the rings 1/2 inch thick. For bigger eggs that measuerment should be increased but I havent figured out by how much yet. I am thinking it should cover at least half of the eggs length or just a bit more or you will have eggs popping out at the sharp angle. When I get the 1 inch pipe I am going to increase the thickness to 3/4 inch for the coturnix eggs.

So you saw you pipe up into rings and then you glue them together in pairs.

Then you glue the pairs together to make diamond shapes.


Then you glue the quads together until you get the dementions you need. I suggest you leave some pairs not made into quads so if you need only one row more to make it fit you don't have to tear any quads apart.


As you can see clothes pins make the perfect clamp to hold the pieces together while they dry. This right here will hold 36 button quail eggs
