So this was my first attempt incubating quail. Naturally when I set 22 eggs in the bator the weather decided to go bi-polar(no offense to those who may suffer from bi-polar). I candled on the 8th day and was left w/ 18 viable. Then ice-storm rolls in causing temp and humidity fluctuations so I had to monitor it closely. Then like two days after ice storm it was up in the 60-70's. Candle before lockdown and had 14 viable. So into lockdown they go. Mother nature than decided to have t-storms due to a low pressure which caused a spike in humidity during lockdown... My humidity was at 85% I had that sickening feeling that they had drowned. Well I lucked out. I had 9 hatch out of the 14 that were left. 4 showed no signs of pips and one piped on narrow end but never made it.
So without further delay here is my bunch.
They love their rabbit pelt bed.
So without further delay here is my bunch.
I set 40 eggs, got a hatch of 16 and had to cull 3 for deformities. 
I'm ordering some A & M's from James Marie this week.
