Let's plan a Quail egg hatch... set 'em Sept. 1, hatch 'em Sept 17-19+

Date sort Score sort
that sucks! My batch that just hatched had a stinker, I caught it before it burst but it was only half way through, i'm sure if i missed it it would have burst and ruined everything! Fingers crossed that the rest do well for you though!
 
I was sitting out by the firepit with my boyfriend one night and the dogs come running up. I look up and HAY! Thats a quail! It landed by the horse wash rack, dogs chasing, I ran over to catch the bird, yelling the dogs off, and he FLEW! I mean that sucker flew like a bird!

Off he went and was Gone! I was amazed and couldnt believe how well he flew! A big ole roo too! No idea how he got out of the pen either!

I darken the room, put my thumb and forefinger into an "0" shape, set an egg on there. Then I take a small powerful flashlight and shine it up underneath. If it looks very light, that's not good. I don't bother candling until day 10. The better part of the egg is opaque at that point if it is growing a chick;-)
 
Well I did it again. I thought I had quail due the 11th and found a baby chirping at the bottom of the Sportsman. I ran to the other incubator and more eggs in there. I have 3 out so far. I moved them into the hatcher, but I'm thinking I should have just left them alone. I have eggs rocking, but not sure if I blew it yet with all of them.
 
Oh the torture!

Still have rockers, but that's it. The first 3 are pecking at the shells, but nobody want to come out. Hope they aren't going to die in there.
