Long time since posting! Missed you guys!
My first set of quail chicks this year have begun hatching today. So far 2 have hatched on their own, and 2 assisted, and one I was too slow to assist. They get a pip hole and then get stuck.
I’m not sure why the membranes always get dried out and sticky on my hatches. Looking for ideas.
Temp is steady at 99.5. Humidity fluctuations between 45-55. I put it to about 65 at lockdown.
The Bator is homemade out of a hard plastic cooler equipped with thermostat, turner and computer fan.
TIA for your input friends
