by all means you can leave the chicks in there it helps regulate humidity better if you do. I get impacient and normally take themout though

congrats! buttons, coturnix or bobwhites orr?

coturnix mix the cartons said gold, tux and phero. thanks i was hopeing you would say im going to leave them in overnight and take the dry ones out in the morning. hows that sound.

 

[monarc23]

sounds good and i bet you also will get tibetans, if you're getting tux you'll more than likely get some solid tibetans too. You'll love the tuxes and the goldens the most i bet.

hey woke up this morning and found 50 of the 100 quail eggs hatched so far 5 more are drying so what is a good percentage for a quail hatch of 100 eggs?

 

[lowcountrypoultry]

Well if the eggs were shipped a 50% hatch is by all means a semi-good one.

Leave the chicks inside intil hatch is complete, and best of luck with your hatch!
