Incubator temp too low

[christichaisson]

My incubator was set too low for five days , 93 degrees. I have fixed the problem but what should I do with the button quail eggs that were in there?

How many total days were they in? Was this at the start or half way through? I guess you could candle the eggs, but those are some tiny eggs. With the temp being so off for so many days, you may have to toss them & start over.
Best luck, let us know what happens.

Don't toss them, low temps are much more favorable to high temps and in many case low temps won't have much effect... Candle them now and in a week, and if you can see growth and progress chances are they will still hatch... Just be aware that the hatch might be delayed for a few days up to the number of days they were bellow temp so give them time...

Hi

Glad you could join the flock! I too agree with MeepBeep, don't toss them yet. Lower temps are not as serious as too high.

Wishing you the very best of luck with your quail

It was from the beginning for the first five days. Too tiny and dark to candle. Do you know if it's too early to water candle?

 

[MeepBeep]

If you can't candle them just run the incubation as normal, but add a few days on to the end...
