I just started a batch of 45 mixed jumbos.

I wouldn’t worry yet. Many (or most) of mine pipped then didn’t zip out till the following day.

I will. I was not expecting that many clears. I autopsied 6 of the clears at day 10. They appeared to be scrambled. :idunno With that many clears it’s also hard for me to say if I did anything wrong to cause the other 6 not to develop properly. I may also get some eggs from James Marie...

So my 1st incubation is complete. I set 45 Myshire Jumbo Mix. I gave the other 15 to my ex-wife to hatch. 45 set 22 clears 17 hatched 5 died sometime after developing 1 died just after it hatched So that’s 70.8% for the eggs that started to develop. I don’t think that’s to bad for my first...

I’m using the ceramic 100w for the first time. It produces more even heat than a red bulb. I already like it better. I need to research and find a heat sensor that will alarm when the temp lowers below a certain point. If I find one I doubt I’ll ever use another glass bulb. I’ll just keep a...

Good luck with your hatch!

Why do you think the 3D tray is to blame? Just curious, I bought one also.

Thanks, will do.

I have several eggs pipping now and this one is pipping from the pointed end. That’s not good right?

I candled my eggs just now on day 10. I pulled 9 clears, two of which were cracked. I left in another 6 that are “most likely nots”. That leaves 30 that could hopefully hatch. Waiting for these quail eggs to hatch is worse than waiting for a chicken to lay it's first egg! :barnie

That's ok, I'm patiently waiting. 😄

:pop

I know. Seriously, I'm taking notes on everything you've been posting lately.

Good videos. These are helping me a lot.

I'm trying the dry hatch. There are so many opinions on humidity I don't know what's best. This is what I chose to do first. I gave 15 eggs to my ex wife to hatch and she is running her humidity between 35-40%. We'll compare results afterwards.

Thanks. These are my current readings on the Govee in the center of the bator (the hottest part). It's only bumped 100.3 briefly a few times and my averages are where I want them. So I think I'm safe. Unless my bator has a serious malfunction I can't see I'll come anywhere close to 103°.

Tell what? 🤔

That would add up to A LOT of 3’x4’ cages if I want to keep 48 bird's max. I'll have four 3’x4’ cages, I'll let the quail tell me how many should be in there. I won't know till they hatch how many of what I have. Zach said he was sending Wild, White Wing, White and Egyptian. Who knows what...

I just don't think I can eat that many quail. There's only so many recipes out there. 😄
