➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚
Five new button chicks. I set 10 eggs, 3 quit early, 2 quit, but all 5 that made it to lockdown hatched. -
➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚
I'm playing with the idea of an indoor aviary. For now they're going to go in 50 gallon totes that I've modified into button containers. That's how I kept them at my old place. I would really love to get one of these. It would fit nicely in the corner of my house where it's sheltered and it... -
➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚
A friend of mine had some button quail from me. Her female died and she's left with a lonely 4 year old male. She can't find any birds near her, so she ordered eggs for me to hatch and she'll take some home when she comes up to visit. I'm not going to let them run around in the atrium... -

Mine already have some. They normally start coming in at 3 days. -

They are awfully cute. I'm expecting pharaoh, falb fee, calico fee, silver, rosetta, tibetan, and several kinds of tuxes. -

I'll get a pic of my hatch after I clean the brooder. I have over a hundred chicks. I'm going to have to do two brooders very soon. -

I'm sorry. I hate culling chicks, but you know when it needs to be done. -

Leave the little one alone. It will eventually fluff up as it preens the gunk from the egg off. -

I've moved the first few to the brooder as well. There are a lot more on the way. -

You could try adding a shot glass filled with water to the incubator. That adds some humidity but has a small enough surface area that it doesn't add much. -

30-35% is probably about ideal. I've found that up here at higher elevations lower humidity during incubation is better, but higher at lockdown (up to 65-70%). When I lived in P-town my ideal was around 30% humidity during incubation and up to 50-60% was best at lockdown. -

They might. I usually pull them as soon as I'm certain they're dead. That means that I will candle the egg for several days to be sure. -

I'm glad they're helping! I was especially happy to be able to show some that were clear as well as some that quit along the way for reference. -
➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚
I just set 190 eggs. They're all from my own birds. I wasn't planning on hatching just yet since I kicked my last hatch outside just yesterday, but I butchered all of my extra boys yesterday and sold all of my available hens today. My tenants just handed my cards to some people who are...
