Hi everyone!! Just joining the thread..I set 9 eggs on the morning of Dec 17, so we are getting close..i candled 3 days ago and all but one egg seem to developing well...very excited if that is the case!! in the past I've only had 2 hatch each time..Im thinking that the younger flock might have better eggs Good luck everyone Im excited to see all the progress!!

so frustrated right now! I’m on day 11 and nothing major had gone wrong (power outages, etc). I put my extra thermometer in a couple days ago and my temp has been dead on....I always check everything before leaving each morning and then a couple times each night. I just did my first evening check and my base thermometer had been switched from inside to outside and the incubator was unplugged and cold! (70*). No one will admit messing with it or the strip it’s plugged into so I have no idea for sure how long it was off! I didn’t open it....I just restarted and turned on my extra thermometer. i will wait until lockdown to candle again and may delay lockdown slightly to accommodate for the temporary lower temp.

my temporary freak out has passed. I looked back and the ice-storm related power outages of 5 hours occurred during my last quail hatch and I don’t think there was significant damage as a result. at least this time the temp in the house was still at 70+

Ugh. Well, better too low than a high temp spike. I wouldn’t worry much either. Glad you are no longer freaking out.

We have 3 hatchlings so far! 2 faverolle/Sussex mix and 1 faverolle/welsummer mix. 3 wobbling and keeping me on my toes!
