November 22: "Hatch Finished" Now with PIC'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[neferset]

I am making plans to clean out my incubators and put them back in their boxes. I've been incubating since July and am ready to be done. Especially now that I am wondering where to put chicks. (Imagine brooders hanging from my ceiling.)

But I know what you mean. There is a kind of UP that you get when they are hatching and doing well that is addictive.

Bout the only thing exciting i have to report is i "MAY" have herd some peep'ing from within an egg or 2, but that's all for now.

oh wow really??? is that early for quail?

 

[kooltex]

Yeah, They take 23-24 days, sat will be 23 days, I don't expect any to hatch till sat. My temps have been between 99.7 and 102, still air, but I have had early hatches before. Keeping fingers crossed!

Temps seem to be a little uneven in the still air, so some may come early.

HA! seems like im checking the windows 5 times an hour now. I've done this before..."and it's silly i know" but i lean over at my incubator and "peep" a few times at my eggs. LOL! But sure enough...about 5 seconds later...they peep right back to me.

Just did it a few moment's ago and one started sounding off right away to me.

Little one is zipped but not hatched.
