Hi everyone,
I've been researching for a couple of months and decided to try my grandparents incubator. Last week I successfully hatched 10 out 12 shipped quail eggs and also got 17 chicken eggs. The chicken eggs were jacked up. Several of them had detached air cells. I hatched 1 chick. I'm not sure if it's an Ameraucana or a Easter egger. Also shipped eggs. I got 16 more eggs from a local farmer. So far it looks like 13 are developing nicely. They go on lockdown in 6 days. A animal control offer friend of mine called me 2 days ago and begged me to hatch a goose egg for her. She didn't want it destroyed I have a goose egg now.
I just wanted to thank the experienced people on here who took their time to help me and others like myself, be successful in our first efforts. I have gotten so much useful information from you guys. Thanks to each and everyone one of you. I wouldn't have been as successful without all the great help.

Congratulations, those are pretty great results.

If you don't know how many days it is for a goose egg to hatch, you may want to post on the goose threads ( at Other Backyard Poultry forum) they may have totally different humidity & temperature needs than chickens. I do hope it will hatch for your friend.

Hey thanks a lot. I've done several hours of research on the goose egg. Some of that time was spent here I think I might do ok. Thanks for the info. I was super surprised that so many of the quails hatched. I had 83% success. That's pretty darn good. Research paid off huh?
