They've hatched! *PICS!*

Have you got water in your incubator? you need that to soften the egg shells so the quail chicks can peck out easy.
Thats the mistake i made, they were all fully formed but most dead in the shell because i didnt add enough water to the incubator.
if you've done that, just cross your fingers and wait.

Yes, The water pan is full of water.

I'm hopeing either this afternoon or tomorrow morning!

What should my tempt be? The temp right now is 101 - 102

Temp for button quail eggs should be around 99.5. They don't do well when it gets higher than 100. I hope they hatch soon! The suspense is killing me!

 

[Mrs. Fluffy Puffy]

I have a homemade incubator and I don't know how to adjust the temp, somebody else wired it up for me.

High temperatures, they should have hatched early or on time....

Still rooting you chicks!

 

[Mrs. Fluffy Puffy]

An egg zipped pretty fast and then once I got all my chores down he still hadn't hatched so after super I went out to check and he had hatched!!!

Once he fluffs out I'll post a picture so you can tell me what color he is!

SUCH A CUTIE!

 

[Rozzie]

Hope you have some more tomorrow! Glad one hatched!

 

[Mrs. Fluffy Puffy]

I hope so too!
I'm fixing to go snap some pictures of the baby!

If it is a still air bator (doesn't have a fan to circulate the air) 101 is a good temp for it to be at.

Hopefully you didn't mess up the rest of the eggs by taking the one baby out

I hope not too, I didn't want to leave the little guy in the bator by himself all night

He is in a brooder in my room snuggled up next to a stuffed animal!
