Temp. 99.5 Hum: 65 Date of incubation: (Never sprayed eggs, just Set Incubator and forget about it till lockdown to remove egg turner)

Khaki Campbell: May 5, 2010 at 9pm

Temp. 99.9 Hum: 74-76 Lock Down:

One of the Khaki Campbell’s hatched out early on Sunday morning, and then a second one on the afternoon. 6 Quails hatched during this entire day.

Duck eggs are have cracks in them, Muscovy’s still waiting to hatch. Now I have Eight Quails. Can’t believe the Quails hatched….

I’m at work now, and so many of them are starting to break their shells…ahhh the agony! Can’t wait for a Muscovy Duckling.

More babies!! 2 before I left for work, 6 when I came home. Pictures taken through perspex.

6 out of 7, still might be 7 but can't see a pip on number 7

Yay I have a pip

It is the egg on the middle right. The pip is towards the middle, but it's kinda hard to see.

Just took number 7 out to candle and realised it had pipped underneath, I quickly put it back, hope I haven't done any damage, the other 6 are fluffing up now and very cute. One of them seems to be having trouble standing up, it sort of pushes itself around and the others keep standing on it, I think it might just be exhausted, I lifted it up and it looks ok, no deformity or anything. Leaving them all in the bator until tomorrow, they are very small. Have set up the brooder but the weather has turned quite cool so will wait until the morning to move them.

I have another pip and it is a big one. The has a hole about the size of an m&m. Does that mean it is starting to zip?

Had 2 pips last night around 10pm, got up this morning and one hatched. The other is still zipping...seems like it's taking a long time. It doesn't look shrink wrapped and the chick is still moving when I make noise. How long should I wait? Never have had a problem with that. Seems like there's a pip then 8 hours later a chick.

The chick that pipped early yesterday morning hatched yesterday around 3 pm. So cute! Much lighter in color than the others from my chickens. This morning I noticed another pip around 4:00 am so hopefully we'll have another soon.
