Well, I put 42 eggs in my incubator on the 18th of January. I put in 6 bantam eggs, 10 bobwhites and the rest were coturnix. I planned it for the quail eggs to start hatching on the 6th of February, my birthday. Well, the first one hatched on the 8th. A total of 5 eggs have pipped. Four have hatched and three have died as of now. I have one lonely one in the brooder.
The bad thing that happened is yesterday when we were running a couple of errands, the light bulb burned out. We were gone for about two hours and when we got back, the temp was 67 degrees and the humidity was 100%. The 5th one to pip had gotten too cold and wsnt moving anymore adn the other live one int he incubator died and was freezing.
Are any more of them going to hatch? Did the temp loss kill all of the ones ready to hatch?
Thanks for any advice!
