Well, their late switch into the hatcher didn't hurt them too, too badly. Quailsplosion in my hatcher overnight xD 32 eggs went into the hatcher two days ago and not all of them are out, but enough where I can't count them all yet xD Edit: ended up pulling eggshells out because they kept...

Well, this dodo head just realized that two days ago was the third batch of courtnix quail eggs lockdown. Today is day 16 and I noticed 4-5 pips while frantically shifting them to the hatcher (which I had to turn back on and wait for it to warm up). I thought I had til Wednesday when quails...

That stinks. I had that happen with some shipped eggs recently and only one made it to lockdown. Make sure you contact the seller and ask for them to reship egs or refund you. Take pictures before you toss the box or the broken eggs if at all possible.

Just ordered a new bator to replace one that spiked to 113 and 108 a couple days apart. Have a lot of duck eggs creating an egg carton wall in my hatcher around the button quail eggs, meat chicken egg (yes, singular), and the last two welsummer eggs ( one hatched last night!). By wednesday I'll...

My hatch is almost done and I didn't fry the eggs! :D Coturnix 75 Incubated 51 Set 26 Hatched White Laced Cornish Bantams 12 Incubated 8 Set 6 Hatched 1 Dead after Hatching Silkie Bantams 12 Incubated 10 Set 8 Hatched 1 Splay leg One lone silkie is still hatching, but she's waaaay...

No. No, no, no, no, no. Come back on power! Woke up to the last sputter of my fish tank filter and then silence and darkness and now the power is off with two incubators full of eggs D': Edit: Got the generator going and everything is okay. Now the wait for the power to turn back on.

2 silkies, 4 Cornish bantams and one half out (zipped, just hasn't kicked out and is just laying in his shell resting). Out of the remaining 11, almost all eggs are pipped externally and the rest are pipped internally. Go figure my styrobator strikes again with a delayed hatch. The first batch...

Just checked on my eggs. Two little Cornish bantams born! No more quails. No silkies. The EE's and most of the 17 remaining quail eggs ended up being late quitters. Two rotten quail eggs. One more DIS. Two corns are popping externally. The rest of the chickens are still moving in their shells...

They are soooo messy. My ten ducklings had to move outside into a bigger brooder with their waterers in bowls with rocks on the bottom so the chicks couldn't drown/sit in the water. They just flooded their pen everyday and it stunk everyday. I could've cleaned that out twice a day and it still...

Go little chickie! Fingers crossed for you and good luck with your silkies! So fast, but right now they just wanna cuddle under my hand and their teddy bear "momma." That's a beautiful coop and some beautiful chickens :) I just want to go sit in there and chill for a while :)

The chicken eggs are a' rockin. I guess I didn't kill them all :D Two more quails hatched, bringing our total to 25, though one is weak. Tomorrow is day 18 for them and 21 for the chicks. I can't wait to see what it brings me. I also was checking on the quails in the brooder tonight and noticed...

Twenty-three quails out, one about to hatch, one more DIS. Nineteen more eggs to go. Twenty-two of those twenty-three were dry, so I put them in the brooder. No chicklits yet and my temps hit 102 for who knows how long while I was at work. I have a thermo-hydrometer in each corner and three read...

17 quails hatched! 3 DIS :/ 29 left to go. Most of the rest are pipped and a couple chicken eggs are pipped, one corn, one Silkie! Today is day 17 for quails and day 20 for chicks. They have until Friday/Sat, then the welsummers go in. Monday after is meat chickens and my mother's button quails...

Ugh! that stinks.

11 quail chicks out! My one greenish egg is currently zipping! 38 more to go xD

Seven quails out! Three more all the way zipped, just have to push out. Five more pipped! No chicken eggs pipped yet, but everyone except the welsummers and four meat bird crosses are in lockdown. More duck eggs coming Wednesday.

Five little quail pips this morning that I saw on a quick look over! Eeeeeh!

Gah! The lockdown wait is the worst. Who else wishes they could stay with their faces glued to their incubators right now?

It very well could be, but then a pip can take 4 days to turn into a zip, so we shall see what happens.

I officially have a quail egg pip from the one who was rocking when I put them in the hatcher for lockdown. Two days early yet again. We shall see what happens
