➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[Fur-N-Fowl]

It should not matter. Either method is a viable method. Doing so should not affect the hatchability.

Thankyou, I might switch them over on day 10 to the flat incubator.

It’s my first time hatching in upright incubators and candling them on day 7 looks so much different as to what it does to a day 7 egg incubated flat.

When I incubate them flat, I can always see the embryo clearly with veins. However, all I can see on the pointy end down day 7 eggs is a dark area, extremely hard to see into

This albino seems to be doing okay so far.

DH accidentally offed a quail. It was one of the brown colored ones, the newest ones that just hatched. When he was sliding in the tray of the hutch, the quails neck got broken because it moved as he was pushing in the tray.

So we butchered the extra quail today and I’m pretty sure we accidentally offed a young female. I swear they all had solid breast feathers though. Does their coloring ever not match their sex? They were Pharoah, Italian and Falb fee. Not sure which was the oops.

Eggs three and four from the new layers. Could this be a celadon or just short on paint? It looks a bit more blue in person but not a true blue blue if that makes sense?

Yes. Sometimes they are hard to sex. I had one that was red with spots. I decided she was a he and offed the real male. All of them started laying eggs. Oops. Look for spots is my suggestion.

One of these “pansy fees” is not like the others
Must be from the cage with the rosetta!
