    Can quail eggs be moved while in lockdown after they have started moving inside the shell?

    I am incubating my quail eggs and it’s day 18. They have been moving in the shell on and off but then stopping completely so worried the humidity was to low my partner put a wet clothe in the incubator and when they did they moved almost all of the eggs. I am worried he might have accidentally...

    First official pip! Here we go! 😍

    I’ve actually counted 11 (of 26! 84% of the eggs incubated were still ticking along at the start of lockdown! 🙌🏻) hairline cracks… of COURSE the first obvious pip is at the wrong end though 🙄 Quail chicks: always working hard to die under even the most ideal circumstances! 😅 I’ll keep y’all...

    Later hatch and by itself. Need advice.

    Yesterday on day 17, 13 or the 19 eggs I have incubating hatched and were causing chaos for one egg that I could tell would take about 24 hours pip to zip. Today on day 18, I moved everyone else to the brooder and this 14th chick finally hatched without interruptions about 2 hours later. The...

    Are my eggs going to hatch?!?!

    it Is my first time incubating eggs. I have made it to lockdown 10 out of 12 eggs successfully developing and no troubles. I had one mess up on day 18 (I put my silkie eggs into lockdown on day 17), I accidentally pumped the incubator and sent the eggs rolling. I quickly placed them all back and...

    Humidity and Oxygen during lockdown

    Hello, I'm using a Brinsea Maxi 24 advance for the first time. I went into lockdown last night and have been working on raising the humidity all day today. I did a dry incubation with what looks like good air cells developed and all eggs made it to lockdown! My question: is oxygen or humidity...

    Turning eggs during lockdown

    I have 19/25 eggs going into lockdown today and the other 6 still have a week to go. For now I just open the incubator real quick and turn them 4 times a day. I have alarms set on my phone every 3,5h. My question is when the eggs start piping is it still safe to turn my 6 eggs or are the...

    Egg hatching that still has veins pipped?

    Hello I know these aren't poultry but maybe the same thing goes for poultry. so apparently today is hatching day for one for the lovebirds eggs (I do have handfeeding experience don’t worry) although since these were incubated by the hen before she suddenly died I have to guess what day they...

    Duck eggs already pipped on Monday, not due to hatch until Friday!

    SOS!! I have duck eggs in a borrowed incubator that you cannot see through. I opened the incubator today to candle them and 3 out of 6 have pipped already! Today is Monday; they are not due to hatch until Friday. They are not on lockdown and I will have to open the incubator again to either move...

    32 in lockdown

    I just put 32 eggs in lock down this morning. My goal this year is to raise them through the whole process using only my wool hens. No artificial light, no heat source, other than the wool hens. I started out with 41 eggs. I only candled at day 10 and day 18. At day 10: I disqualified 3 eggs as...

    Day 18 - Is this Egg still alive???

    I have 10 eggs in the incubators and one of them looks different. The other nine eggs look fine nice veining and visible movement. There is no movement in this egg and the veining is hard to make out. Please let me know what you think. Thanks in advance.

    Using the Nurture Right 360 but with only a few quail eggs

    My coturnix quails are barely laying now so I don't have enough to fill the incubator without risking viability by waiting to have enough. I have a tray that was 3D printed to fit quail eggs which it fits 40 or more I can't remember exactly. I have 10 eggs that are about 6-7 days old now. Does...

    Help! Quail was stuck in egg for 10+ hours so I helped it out and now I'm worried.

    Disclaimer: this is my first time raising and hatching quails. Last night around 7-8 pm (day 17 of lockdown), one of our eggs in the incubator was zipping and I could see its beak. I then went to bed believing it would get itself out eventually. Fast forward to 1pm the next day, I noticed it...

    Ducklings… I’m questioning the need for ‘Lockdown’

    This might be a controversial subject and I don’t want to get into a debate, but my experiences with hatching ducklings in an incubator have left me questioning how valid and necessary the ‘lockdown’ really is…. having said that I am often incubating ducklings during the last half or quarter...
