I was looking up some things about Calls last night and someone had talked about that Polyhatch bator... said they had issues using it for full incubation, but it made a great hatcher... just figured I'd pass that along...

Do you recall what kind of issues they said they had? I'd be curious to know.

It was on The British Call Duck Assoc page.... this is all he said, but I can give you the link if you want... it has his contact info on it...

Mechanical incubation is a real minefield! My best advice here is read the manufacturers instructions and more importantly get stuck in and have a go! This is the best way to get into it really, as advice is all right, but may not apply to each situation. For example, my 'Polyhatch' incubator / hatcher never used to work very well as a setter and hatcher, yet when I used it just for hatching it worked well.

day 15 and only 7 of 31 have obvious veining I noticed that those are notably heavier than the others.
edit: that first picture was taken in night mode

I would think by day 15 you should see some good movement. Were these eggs you had shipped or your flock?

Thanks for looking that up. Not very detailed, for sure. Incubation is a tricky thing. Calls, from what I hear, are tricky as well. I moved the boom just above my 3 viable project turkey eggs and will give it a go.

Temps just above the egg are 102.5 as specified in the manual, at mid-height of the egg it's 100.0 according to the Spot Check.

Yep, incubating is tricky, Calls are really only tricky at hatch, otherwise mostly normal duck incubating...

Here's the link... it just caught my attention since I recognized the name from your posts, lol...

Thank you.

Turns out the land across the street from the house we are looking at is a game ranch offering upland bird hunting. So I may have a market to grow quail! This house looks better every day.
