@Hurley
I'll talk to DH2B about the quail when would you be wanting to unload them? We've discussed trying them but to be honest I've no idea what they would taste like do you only keep the breast or what?

Feel free to PM me to give me a proper education lol

Hope this works. Stones to help maintain temp and pads to maintain humidity. Thanks @NotAFarm

Do these kind of stones work? I was thinking I had to dig around in the driveway. These would be much easier and look better.

Setting my BBS orpington eggs tonight. Some are already 8 days old and i want to give them the best chance at hatching. Im concerned that only 4 out out of 18 had air cells. Think i will run humidity 20% for a few days,

are those eggs pink, or are my eyes going goofy at 2:30am?

Well someone did suggest to you a wet rag...........

OMG you are killing me, err my wife is since I just woke her up laughing my arse off!!

First, adjust that incubator! It was to low in temps during the incubation.

You are doing what you can for the chick. I would get some poli vi sol without iron and give the chip a drop on the bead twice a day. Make it drink water and check to make sure the vent is open. They die withing a couple of days if the poo can't get out!

Do you think it has mushy chick disease? Sally has a great article on it.

I think you are right about the incubator. It was in my basement before the lockdown and it may have gotten cold around the edges because its a plastic one. Since I had very few eggs in there, probably it did not help keeping the temperature uniform either.

The white Legbar chick walked around today, ate, drank and pooped but still goes back to sleep after eating or drinking for a few minutes. Its also falling asleep while standing. One of the Legbar experts said that he may have a vaulted skull and there is not much I can do about it except for keeping it comfortable. Lets see!
