Oh ye of little faith. I'll leave them alone until day 10.

Kidding. Next candle day is day 14.

I think it will be easier to resist after I manage to hatch a few out.

Messing with them is fine up to a point. After that you are lowering your average incubation temperature and humidity, which can reduce your hatch rate.

I'd think you'd want to increase your chances of a healthy hatch, not reduce them.

Your eggs, your bator, your call.

I'm not actually going to candle today. I was kidding, sorry for the misunderstanding.... I'm leaving them until Day 14. It isn't that long for me to wait.

I hear duct tape works wonders!

Banti, thought you would enjoy this pic. Teeny tiny quail

One lady is picking up 20 this evening, another person picking up the remaining 5 tomorrow. Will be sad to see them go, but I tell ya, they stink much worse than chicks or ducks.
