HOLY COW! I had an interesting day, here we are on day 14 or 15ish and getting ready for lockdown I pulled out two more turner racks, well. I was putting the eggs down in the bator and I find out one of them has pipped early! ECK! PS I am hatching quail lol. One of my farm mixed corts was pipped. I thought for sure he would be a goner but I left him in the bator, got home from work at midnight.
GUESS WHAT?! One of our buttons had pipped and i could see it sticking its little beak out! SOOOOOO FREAKING AWESOME! I was upset that they started early though I know that the temos got a wee bit on the high side for a few days so I am thinking we are lucky if we get a 25% hatch this time round, but this is my first go at the bator thing.
Well out of the little pip from earlier in the day I saw nothing, until the button hatch and then POOF there comes the other one that pipped WAY earlier today. Then I go back a few minutes later and another has zipped! I am soooooooo excited! I hope we get a few more that are in such good shape. No problems to be seen so far with the hatched ones. Here are some bator pics, I DID NOT OPEN THE BATOR, some of these look like I did but I took the pics through the windows.
SO excited!
