So tonight is end of day 21 and it is my first real hatch (besides 6 button quail) I didn't even count how many eggs I put into lockdown because I had so many things going on and forgot, but I'd say probably 50 chicken eggs and 65 red and rare color coturnix but with that being said. "Holy freaking fuzzy Butts batman" (and why my auto correct capitalizes Butts I'll never knew). So I thought for sure my hatch rate would be just okay considering I had eggs from so many different people/storing methods and some air sacs were A total Goldie locks & the 3 bears moment, some were to big, to small, and some were just right....
and that is where my phone died around 3am last night I kept remember more and more things I needed to do so I didn't get to sleep until about 8am, I left the chicks in because the quails hatch date was technically today. When I woke up I decided to try and move the chicks because they were eating the quail eggs trying to hatch, but when I moved them my husband misunderstood me and didn't put the hatch tray back in and I found it probably 30 min later so I put it back and checked about 5 hours later and nothing else hatched so I tried to find any alive and only found a few and was able to save 5 and ib killed probably 20 that were for formed and some hard already pipped but they got to cold and the ones I did save have curled toes
but I'll make them some boots. When I moved them to the brooder I counted 49 chicks and only 42 quail but here is biggest issues I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WHAT, so I'll have to take some pictures tomorrow and have you guys help me.
