Incubator Questions

It is worth a shot being you only have the 6 and you had to pay for them. Just keep a close eye on them so if they start to go bad you can remove them.

I saw them as soon as I opened the box. They weren’t in the provided foam padding. They were with the packing peanuts probably bouncing around for who knows how long

That doesn't sound good sorry to hear that. Where were they shipped from?

Okay, I’ll try. Hoping for the best, thank you!

They came from Meyer Hatchery. I’m not sure if they were just handled so poorly or what because Meyer Hatchery is usually very good

I would let them know I'm not sure what their shipping egg policy is, but they may make it right.

Just looked at their site and they say guarantee safe shipping.

I’ll give them a call tomorrow. Thanks for the help!

Just to let you know not sure how many Quail you are looking to have but most expect about 50 percent hatch rate on shipped eggs. Can be better but can also be much worse, so you want to take that into consideration on how many eggs you incubate. Meyer is not that far from you so shipping shouldn't be that bad not like they are coming from several states away. But some shipping routes are not as forgiving as others. If you have other questions on incubating don't be afraid to ask but the links that was posted, have it covered very well. Best of Luck.
