"Quail Thread-Hatching, Mutations, and everything quail related!!!"

[goagain]

Or Which type of quail for school use would depend on the age of the students and the goal of the project. If I were hatching for grade schoolers so they could see the miracle of life, I would use buttons, they are easy to give away afterwards for pets. If it were a high school genetics project, I would choose coturnix. This gives quick generations for a thorough look at genetics by.

Hi everyone! My friend gave us 4 coturnix eggs. We placed one in the incubator sun and 3 Mon. We are excited learning from everyone here. What a great resource. Since we placed them they are tipping downward. Does this mean anything? ???

 

[serama hen]

did you let them set for 24 hours?

The pointy end? Thats how they should be.

 

[quailtrail]

Yes the pointy end. They started just on their sides and are now pointed down.

The air sack should be in the big end. Which leaves the weight of the liquid in the point end. Sounds like gravity is working for you. Remember to turn often.
