One baby hatched this afternoon. Of 79 eggs, I sure hope we get more tonight

We're getting good hatch rates on our other birds, so this would be an expensive disapointment if they don't do OK. We lost power for two hours in the early afternoon, due to the FOOT of Spring Break freak snowstorm we had. By the time we got the generator wrestled through the snow and hooked up, the power came back on. I have my fingers crossed for these little peepers.
 
Well, today I decided to get another dozen of coturnix eggs

As of this morning (day 19) we have 24 babies. Not great out of 96 total shiiped eggs (and only 79 not broken), but better than I expected considering how they were packed.

One is WHITE with a dark spot on it's head...don't think that one is a Jumbo Brown~LOL We also have one with a pretty severe crossed beak

I'll watch it closely and cull it if it's not going to do OK. If it can eat, we'll let it grow to butcher size, but I don't think it will thrive.

I had NO idea how active these little guys were~LOL They are a hoot!
 
I've got 72 eggs coming in the mail- should be here tomorrow

add that to the 48 eggs that a friend of mine has in her bator because mine is out of room! Can't wait to see how many fuzzball cuties arrive from these hatching eggs

good luck everyone with your hatches!

I only got 10 out of 57 brown and golden eggs. I used an automatic turner and followed all the rules about settling, temperature, humidity and upright storage. The eggs were packed very well. I don't know why I failed so.
 
Well today arrived the eggs and guess what!!! Hethere was 6 extra eggs!!! But the problem is just its all cramped and it fits just exactly in my incubator, but turning them takes some while does it matter?

Thanks,

quail kid1
