The 10th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!!!!!

[two j farm]

I'm sitting here just twiddling my thumbs waiting on Saturday. I'm so ready to get my eggs and get this show on the road also decided to keep some of my on eggs. As of now I will set about 70 eggs, so Saturday needs to come on before I go egg crazy.

Thanks yall. It keeps going 99.5 to 99.8 so i hope we will be okay. I decided to leave it but gonna keep it wrapped up for now other than vent holes for air.

That should be perfect!

Ok, so it seems to be balanced wavering 99 -100 but humidity is only in the 20s so working on that next. Aiming for in 30s for now. Full dry hatch in small bathroom equals 17% humidity sadly so have to add wet sponges.
my Bresse eggs are scheduled to get here Thursday. So they'll get a day and a half rest before going in the incubator. Haven't heard on quail yet but should be shipping out soon.

these work well and longer then sponges:

each one will raise humidity about 10 percent. They fit next to the rails and last 3 days or so

I need to figure out when to start collecting the Quail eggs!

NOW!! Collect them all, set all that you have, old and new (new first of course) and whatever hatches, hatches I like to candle my quail eggs before setting them to check for micro cracks and seal them up with clear nail polish since my quail like to play soccer them after they lay them. It's really boosted my hatch rate.

How about now?

X2!

I know! I have a big bowl of them on the counter so I need to setup a better setup than that.

It is getting to be very exciting!

Ron you need some quail egg cartons. I keep one in the fridge and fill front to back so I know which are older.

How big are the bowls? Holes drilled in the lids or slightly open? More details please.
