Txmel, I'm so sorry only 1 made it
My last batch of eggs didn't hatch out any at all....I know how you feel. Don't give up, tho, ok?? I've tried 5 hatchings, and have had some really good ones....just had a couple that went wrong somewhere. I look at it this way, we're not gonna figure it all out by giving up. So just try again. I know I'll be hatching out as many eggs as I can, as often as possible in the spring. So, if you need a hatch-buddy, somebone to share ideas with, shoulder to cry on, or just to vent with, just let me know....I'll be there. Believe me, it helps having someone to discuss all these confusing details with. Better luck on your future hatchings
Heatherlynn: If you put your eggs in on 9/3 about 3:30 in the pm, by my figuring day 21 for you would be today around 3:30 in the pm. Now, I don't know how your temps and humidity ran throughout incubation, but allowing for maybe lower temps you could have a few late hatchers. If it were me, I'd wait til at least Monday evening (that would be day 24 for you) before even thinking about tossing anything, maybe even let them be until Tuesday morning. I've had a couple hatch on day 25. Good luck with the rest of your hatch.
To all the rest of the gang: Congrats to all of you with lil ones
and to those still waiting, hang in there
Oh, I almost forgot to tell ya'll my lil bit of good news....I've got 1 tiny little baby Coturnix quail sitting in my bator this morning.
Now, ONLY 44 more to go.......
