Your other eggs looking good?

From that pic it does look like a blood ring but at only around 7 days you may want to check again in a day or two. But I do think you spotted a quitter.

Yes, they should be fine.

What temp is the room the brooder is in?

I raise Coturnix Quail and mine are usually off heat by 3 weeks of age depending on outdoor temps.

No, you did fine It will heal itself. But is good to keep moist and keep from infection until it draws in a little and dries up. Thats why I use Neosporin as it does both keeps moist and is an antibiotic. Things should be starting to look better already and hopefully good to go by morning. How...

How are the hatchlings doing?

That is not unabsorbed yolk or a prolapsed vent it is the umbilical abdomen area. Just like a belly button, it will dry up, but you can put a little dab of Neosporin without pain reliever on it and let it dry up. They are a little raw looking, but the hatchlings should be ok it should dry up...

👆 Dropping down to 99 is not bad but as @Debbie292d stated you don't want large fluctuations in temp. Noticed in your other threads you said you were getting fluctuations of 3 to 4 degrees. That is not good. (Your quote in other post)> is it okay that my temperature fluctuates about 2-3-4...

What do your other eggs look like compared to that one?

Yes, that one is moving but something just doesn't look right to me with that egg in pictures. Air cell is very small for day 18 and egg looks to be still filled with fluid. Even egg in your video with movement, air cell looks small and doesn't look like it has receded yet and looks to have a...

I know you just bought a new incubator and hatcher for a good deal that will do 270 at a time. But what do you plan on doing with all your new birds?

Sorry but from those pics that egg has passed long ago. At 18 days of incubation that egg should be full and dark, not being able to see through it. What makes you think it's still alive?

I do a lot of turkey poults and they can really take to eating bedding, so I used pea pads but mostly like the industrial blue mechanic paper towels sold at auto stores over pads until eating from feeders. They work great for me with Turkeys and Quail but like the pea pads only for duckling's...

Have 3 brooders with them in them right now.

Where is this info coming from? I have used TSC large flake for many many years with no problems.

:welcome Welcome looks like you're using a heat plate for heat that is fine, but they shouldn't need any other heat in brooder at your ambient house temps. I would even have them in an area that has a cooler ambient temp than 76F, but you should be fine with that and the brooder plate...

Mine are off heat at 4 weeks you only want 90f within first week or so of hatch. @Kathy Sue You don't want the whole brooder that hot they need a cool area to escape heat if they get too hot. I start out at 95F-100F in small enough area to cover all hatchlings for first day or so. And a...

Good luck with your hatching. :thumbsup
