What about adding concentrated oxygen to your incubator????

We should probably wait until we see if he already has vent holes in his bator before telling him to make changes to it. The eggs could have not hatched for several reasons, air flow being the one least likely.

And I can say from experience that 'an old computer fan' is not enough circulation for an incubator of this size.

I tend to agree with you Shelly, but I have seen people build bators with almost no air exchange. They figured as long as they got 99.5deg./45% humidity everything was fine. It would also be nice to see some pics or sketches.

I didn't make the connection until now, but isn't tomorrow day 21 of the hatch in question?

The eggs were all opened and 5 out of 50 were fertile I believe and one was DIS as a fully developed chick and the others were early deads under my recollection. I asked a few questions. The thread is somewhere

I may have gotten the numbers wrong so I apologize in advance!

I think this is the thread your thinking about.

And it did say only 5 out of 50 fertile.

Here's the link to how the incubator was made.

It sure is neat!

That was more information than needed. Thanks my friend!
I'm guessing that this is a dual dilemma troubleshooting problem at best. I should probably just watch

Yes it does look neat! I think I said so somewhere. It's a very pretty home made bator!

I'm pending

I wonder if hubby would notice If I moved his mountain of DVD's and slipped in a bator like this?

High Oxygen Saturations Or Oversaturation Causes Blindness... Its Hyperosmolar In The Blood Stream And Damages The Vessels In The Retina Of The Eye. So If You're After Blind Quail You May Wish To Persue This.... Otherwise Maybe Not
