Oh, I really hope they do well for you. I have several eggs from the girls in my bator right now and have almost all developing so I hope shipping doesn't effect the results that much for yours. I did not get mine today but I am sure they will be here tomorrow.

 

[what was i thinking]

still no word on if they were received or not. i will feel horrible if something was wrong with them

Yeah I hope so too. I hope mine all get there unharmed and develop for you too!!! The ones you sent didn't get here till Monday so I really hope mine get there by Saturday. I have hatched some of my blue hen's eggs before, but never any of my other ones yet. I know the roos been a busy boy and so was the other one who use to be with the blue hens and one of the RIRs. So fingers crossed! They've been fertile when I crack them open to eat.

My eggs are HERE!!! I KNEW it was you!!! I'm gonna have button quail comin out my ears!!

YEAH!!!!! None broken I hope? I'm so glad they made it and I hope they do well for you!!!

Nothing for me yet but I am GLAD because it's been so cold here, they would never have made it on the front porch all day. The GOOD news is I took tomorrow off so I'll be watching for them all day!!!!!!! Hope they come tomorrow and not Saturday...won't be home Saturday...

They look ok, I didn't candle them, but with button quail, what's the point?

You can't see in the little boogers anyway! I saw the name Cindy for the return address, and I was like 'I knew it!!' I am expecting some goose and duck eggs next week from someone else, not sure how I'm gonna fit them all in! I have plenty of room, but only 2 bators!! I'm gonna have to rack my brain, since noone wants to answer my posts tonight!

Oh, btw, it is SNOWING here! My son is thrilled! It's his first time seeing snow. He didn't even know what it was!

 

[LilRalphieRoosmama]

Never seen SNOW??? Send him here...we have plenty!!! You should get the eggs in the incubator as soon as you can/as soon as they warm up. They don't have a long "shelf life". Tomorrow morning at the latest probably.

Oh he would love that, till he got some in his shoe or something, then he would whine his head off! We just moved here from Florida this summer, so this is all new to him. Even the cold weather we've been having. It didn't get this cold for long down there, and I don't think it even got this cold last winter! Maybe for a day or so, but I'm not sure.

Ok, need to think. The duck/goose eggs won't be here till about Tuesday, which is when the other buttons are supposed to hatch. Maybe I can set these in the other bator with the chicken eggs for a few days? I don't trust my hatcher to hatch things other than chickens. The last time I hatched quail, I had 3 live hatches, and 3 that died after pipping, either the shell or the membrane only. My bator with the chicken eggs does have a fan in it, so it would be ok to put different sized eggs in it. I think!

Oh idk, I'm gonna go nuts!!

 

[LilRalphieRoosmama]

I'd say get them in where you can, and when the others hatch, move these. I would just hate for them to sit too long, if they haven't already, then you get nothing...

I agree. Button eggs are so stinking fragile. If you wait to long then you get nothing. Put those babies in somewhere tomorrow and then swap bator's if you have to.

 

[shelleyd2008]

They would be ok to put in the bator with the chicken eggs right? I have heard that the duck and goose eggs are supposed to have a lot higher humidity. The last time I had buttons they were in the bator with the chicken eggs, and only 3 developed to full term. Two died after pipping!
