If a/n egg is stored too long in the freezer(or without), it will have less likely chance of hatching. I've bought mine's when they just came to stock on that exact day. Better luck on quail eggs next time for you!

@WhistlePig , I think the brand that you bought the quail eggs from are fertilized. I've successfully hatched quail eggs from that brand I think.

I'm excited to see what happens! My Chicken also had a 3-yolk egg, but I couldn't find the pic of it. It's really rare so congrats!

Leave it for a few more hours, then if showing no progress, then it's time to intervene.

I just used hot water bottles+ a box and it worked the last time I did it! Not sure of my luck this time :( I will try to take pictures but it's so dark the pics look wonky

Hello! I´ve recently made an homemade incubator using hot water bottles, and I´m hoping to hatch some quail eggs with it! I do not have my hopes high, but still curious. As a double bonus, the eggs are from the super market. However, the supermarket eggs ARE fertile(I have tested it). Day 0: I...

Yep it did!

Good Luck @WafflesCoop !! I've done this several times, but on my wrist. Kinda wierd on my wrist though :oops:

Like other people said, temps and humidity affects hatch rate greatly. Make sure the egg is in the proper conditions! Also, I usually only get like 2 thirds of my eggs hatch, so it's totally normal!

@Sbrown17 ,Do not be anxious yet, wait for a bit and leave the incubator alone :) If there is still wiggles, they are alive. Have you checked for internal/external pips yet? (Not sure what you mean by "peeps")

Yes sorry! I forgot about that other thread 😅

I'm candling my quail eggs, but some are greenish inside and some are yellowish. Does that affect the hatching? Does yellowish mean fertile and greenish mean unfertile? The eggs are on day 1.

@Kiki , will you see more on day 3?

I'm incubating quail eggs, but I'm still curious if there will be any difference between candling on day 0 vs. day 1? Because I saw that my egg yolk was darker on day 1 than on day 0.

Yep! As @Kiki said, ducks take longer than 24 hours in my experience. Wait some more and you'll end up with cute ducklings :)

All is looking good so far! 🥰

It doesn't look very late, could just be the color of the shell of the chicken egg. Check again in a few days!

Hello! :) These aren't my eggs, but I was just taking care of my friends incubator(quail eggs) while she's away for a few weeks. Before you say anything, this is a real incubator, not my homemade ones. When I candled the eggs, they looked fine. However, 3 was concerning. 1 did not develop at...

Hello @WhistlePig! For Quail eggs, do not give up on them entirely yet! Some quail eggs are near impossible to even try seeing. For example, I had a quail egg that I thought was a dud, but when I opened it I found a live chick. If you don't see the egg getting dark by day 10, probably not...
