Thread formerly known as Hatch day is today

should I give up or wait a day or 2 more? I have 20 quail and 14 bantam eggs... i think its a stretch for ZERO to hatch....

Quote: it's not unusual for that to happen....with shipped eggs the hatch rate is 50% or less...if it gets very hot during transit that makes it worse....see if you can find some local eggs, someone on this thread bought some "farm fresh" or "free range" eggs in the grocery store....let them sit until they are room temp then try to incubate them....she got 4 chicks....I have put eggs in the fridge but then decided to incubate them and they are due to hatch in a week...so don't give up
 
Well, incubator's on again. Girls are laying, eggs are getting ready to be sold, and I need a fertility check, so here we go, lol. I'll keep any girls if they hatch - I want to add some girls to boost egg production next year. I'm hoping I can get them out after they hatch before there's snow.

My incubator is on again too. A neighbor read my lament on FB about feeling like I had unfinished hatching business and brought me two dozen duck eggs. So nice to have awesome friends.
