➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[Nabiki]

wishful thinking and your wishes came true.

There absolutely was a chirping egg. There was another one this morning. It was zipping and got stuck. Or it thought it was. Either way, a bit of help popping the top off, and it was out.

They definitely can chirp before pipping. I have confirmed with a stethoscope.

I have heard chirping from an egg that hadn't pipped yet too. I was checking for late hatches and held it to my ear.

Nutter Bee!
How many chirpers do you have now?


My new quail are 2 weeks old now.
I think I only have 2 males.
I can't believe it.

I have 18 chicks. I should have a bunch of fee eggs arriving today as well.

I need to adjust my hatching settings to accommodate for elevation and no humidity. Hatching at sea level was great at 30% humidity, but apparently I need higher at 4200' elevation.

Don't be in too big of a hurry to buy into the higher humidity at higher elevation proponents.

4200' isn't that big of a deal. It's the ones that are over 5000' that have more of an issue. The issue isn't the humidity but rather the lower concentration of oxygen. Especially the build up of CO2 when a lot of chicks are hatching at once.

I'm at 5200"+. I incubate at 30% to 35% humidity if I can. I lock down at 65% to 70% humidity.

Probably a stupid question, but why do some of the eggs look green on the inside? All of them look pretty much the same on the outside but when candeling this one is super green
Normal

Vs this one

Some have bluish shells.

Go put a B

Go put a B on one of these bluish looking ones now that way when it hatches you can peel back the little inner membrane and you'll see the blue tint.
