May 2021 Hatch - A - Long

[AusHen]

I'm up to 7 quails but the most recent has hatched with unasorbed yolk, im worried the other 6 will peck at it but I have more eggs with pips so cant remove the others, I have made the room dark for now so hopefully they dont bother it

Here are my latest hatches. The March and April hatches are in the chick/grow-out coop.
My first hatch for this year. White Leghorns.

Here they are now in the chick/grow-out coop.

My second hatch. They think they're hiding. Brown and White Leghorns.

This is my recent hatch. RC RIR, SC RIR and more White Leghorns from different coops. I have a few more RC RIR eggs in the incubator. Those will be the absolute last hatch of this year.

Whoops! I forgot to put eggs in. I have to put some chicken eggs in the incubator for a broody, and the quail eggs should be here in time to share a hatch day.

Do you have a small bowl or a cup that can fit in the incubator? It’ll stop the quail from injuring itself

I had gone to do that not long after posting and saw intestines so little one was culled. Another two have hatched.
Echo is still waiting on the other chickens to hatch so introduced to the quail again and shes being nice now, shown them the food and water for me. Currently all snuggled together under the brooder plate

My quacky campbell duck egg- "Quack Daniels". I grabbed 3 eggs from a friend and put them under a hen- one was not fertile- the hen cracked 2. I put nail polish on the one with the smallest crack. Since I was hatching chickens

all month, I put the egg in with hatching eggs and their high humidity. The duck hatched. I am not going to be a duck keeper, so I will have just one.

below is the nail polished egg.

Shipped Ancona duck eggs went into lockdown this morning.

Started with 24 & 11 made it to lockdown.

Here’s hoping they all make it out!

This months hatch along is not going well for me. First little button quail out has messed up legs, one is so twisted it looks like it's on backwards
