wouldnt it make it harder for the chick to get "out of the egg" without being able to roll?,, i can see how it helps "start" getting out,, but after that they need to do alot of "trying" to stand up to get out?
,,,i think i like this carton thingy hehe

I wondered the same thing until I tried it a couple weeks ago and was very pleased with the results. They had absolutely no trouble getting out and I had a much better hatch because the other eggs weren't being rolled around. Had some drown in previous hatches when they were kicked and the pip was at the bottom. This time I didn't lose one and all were healthy.

I opened up the remaining eggs tonight. The results clearly prove, or at least
support, the egg carton method.

The Left side in an egg carton
22 healthy chicks - 3 infertile eggs

The right side - On their sides with no egg carton
14 Healthy chicks
Not fertile = 6 (random????)
1 was a partial (I'd say stopped at 10 days)
4 fully formed (2 even pipped - They died in the shell

)


So Sam at least 41 of 50 eggs were definately fertile!!! That's a good
rate since ebverything I read says only 60% of quail eggs are fertile.

Wow that's a great hatch rate!

How many goldens did you get out of the bunch?
