June 2023 Hatch-a-long

Pics
checked on my quail eggs today. I started with 9. candled on day 3 and had 7 babies (2 eggs have cracks that I can only see when I candle so put wax on them, 1 was worse than the other), 1 egg i couldn't tell and 1 egg had a detached air cell so didn't have much hope there especially since I saw nothing in it on day 3. today is day 8 so checked again. I still have 7, but the really cracked 1 was a quitter, the detached had nothing. so guessing my ? one had a baby in it after all. LOL
 
Eggtopsy confirms that the 4 “clear” eggs I pulled had no real development, except one that did appear to have a sizeable fertilized blastoderm (RIP former possible keet).
  • Learned I need better tools for if/when I do this again! :( (Used a small screwdriver as my 🔨 and a pair of plastic forceps from a 1st-aid kit as my tweezers)
 
Woke up to guinea keets hatching. Three so far, with more pipping.
