Who is pipping and waiting right now??

I woke up to 3 adorable bobwhite quail babies in the hatcher this morning.

(Sounds like Miss P is having a wonderful time with her splashes!!! )
 
Easter Eggers from all blue eggs hatching now. 2 out, 3 well pipped.
Still no action from the 6 Welsummer eggs. Official hatch day is July 4.
Little firecrackers!
 
I lost all the eggs I had in the bator. Some were all grown but just died in the shell.

The only thing that came out of this is that I have now found out why. My wet temp thermo. is off!!! I put a new thermo and hum. gauge in there and it was off by 5 degrees.

Now I don't know if I want to hatch again since I fee like a murderer. But will make my own incubator and maybe try again.

Good luck everyone on their hatches.
 
Congratulations to everyone on all the hatchings!!!!!!

Can't wait to watch them grow.

Mrs. A.K. Bird~ Do you have pics somewhere of your quail? I bet they are tiny.

Sue~ Blue egg EE sounds lovely. I love my EE's and my Ameraucanas. They are so social & sweet!!!!

I have a couple of turkey eggs in my bator on Day 28. No pipping yet.......Just a little wiggling.....Just waiting!!!!

We are on our second hatch and so far we have 14 babies , one came a day eary, we have 5 out of 25 that is not moving , piping or moving around in the bator so we are unsure if those will hatch . Last hatch on the 5th of June , we had 19 that did not hatch so we are getting better.. I will keep everyone posted and if I can ever get it working right , I will post pics.. Thanks to all who has helped us get this far .

One question,
I have one that has a buble at its bottom , will this go away? Also , there was three born with really bloody shells , 2 are fine , one is the one with the bubble thingy on his bottom , and the last one is just laying in teh bator but breathing , it chirps when I open to get the others out to put in the reserve bator, we had trouble with the last one turning over the eggs and caused some to die from it .

Another question since you are the one to go to for my questions , always have been..

We have the older ones from the last hatch outside, the temp gets in the high 80's low 90's here , is there a need for the 250 bulb since it is this hot? How much longer to we need to keep the light on those since they are outside now>?

THANKS
