No, it doesn't make any sense at all! Especially with the quail, or any of them really!! The bobwhites and coturnix were in the same turner rack, so they were all on the same side. It was the one farthest away from the turner motor, and right under a heat element. But it's a forced-air bator, so that shouldn't matter. The chukars, guineas, and pheasant were all in the center of the bator, so they should have hatched the same also!! It's a very mystery!!

Oh, and I already candle the goose eggs during their cool down, I'll just have to candle them every time I turn them

I have 1 hatched out . While still on the turner

Had DH help me transfer it and the rest of the sibling eggs to the hatcher. Good thing it is only 6 inches away from the bator

Just told Dh we would move them after breakfast. I heard a peeping as I went to the kitchen and there it was completely out and scrumming.

Thanks Heather

Shelly--about the goose eggs....they are so loud in the shell that you should know when you are turning them that you should move them..they will start making a lot of noise before they hatch and they are really loud. If they start making at lot of noise, I would move them to the hatcher. I did geese for the first time this year and had some that I lost track of the date and this is what I did.

I only ended up with one little Amercania that hatched. I am not sure why the other ones didn't hatch. I would send a pic, but the camera is at work with the DH

The others that I had a month ago hardly ever made a sound until after the one was already out? I'll just make sure to candle them every time I go to turn, so I don't turn one that is pipped. I really want these to hatch!! Baby geese are so sweet!!

Woohoo Karan! let me know what the total is. I'm so glad you got hatches after the shipping fiasco!

mine don't come off the turner till Tuesday but will probably be delayed due to the power outage we had last week.
