[Bens-Hens]

I can't work out what to hatch next....

still no luck sourcing emu eggs so i think quail it will be....

Depends where you are, but the Emu season is not here yet. I did find an add that was taking orders though.

Hope you have a fair amount of space, I am pretty sure they need abut an acre a pair.

Just noticed my turner was unplugged

Its day 9..what are the chances for a successful hatch??

 

[rachmickmurphy]

i wouldnt be too concerned if it hasnt been off long but how long do you think its been off?

 

[jklyles1]

Probably the entire 9 days.

 

[rachmickmurphy]

candle them! i can tell you that the multiply turning thing is most important for the first 14 days then i turn once a day till 18th day

I am hatching 29 quail eggs and 12 chicken eggs

If you have not turned them for 9 days then the membrane has been stuck to one side of the egg so they will not develope it is a bad batch

I just candled the 5 eggs and they had good movement. Im gonna keep them in there..see what happens. Is there anything I should look for to tell if they are stuck??

 

[quailboy02]

good for you you cannot telll if they are stuck but just increase the humidity to 70% around day 18 so their shells can be moist enough so they can get out

Hey all I would like to join, but my eggs are going to be hatching at the end of October!  I just put them in yesterday!!  I have 17 Black Copper Maran eggs and 14 Heritage RIR eggs.  Its been a while for me hatching and I am nervous.   Years ago I used to hatch all the time, but this is my first hatch since then.  Please keep your fingers and toes crossed!  

Hope you all attach some pictures when yours start hatching!  I am excited to see!
