I recently purchased 33 (asked for 20 and was given LOTS of extras!) California Valley Quail hatching eggs, that are currently in my incubator. I’m using a Nuture Right 360, and I’ve got them set at 50/55% humidity and using my automatic turner. I’ve got it set for 23 days, lockdown on day 20...
Only day seven on a button quail egg! The rest have a nice healthy shadow and veining, but this one... hmm... not sure what I’m looking at, but it doesn’t look as great. They did come over a slightly chillier few days (50s), one came cracked, and I’ve already decided 7/13 are viable for sure...
Happy morning BYC Community! I may have done a thing.... My neighbors duck recently laid an a few eggs and when they cracked one open to eat there were cells and a few veins! So I took the other egg (on impulse hehe) and stuck it in my NR 360... But I have 25 quail eggs arriving on Friday...

*****UPDATE***********
I am declaring myself officially the biggest idiot of the day.
There was no lash egg at all. It was the ROOT OF THE HEAD OF A LETTUCE. I cut it open and then compared it to another lettuce head that was in my trash. Yep. A knawed up lump of lettuce root.
Thank you all...
So yesterday I received 2 lovely but small quails eggs for the first time! So far today, I still haven't received any. Is it normal for Japanese quails to miss a day after their first egg? If so, is it just one day or can it last a while? Thanks :)
I have been raising poultry for 48+ years and this has become a first for me... I have a large chicken run with 2 coops in it the smaller red coop is for my older girls who are set in their ways and will only go into the Cluckingham palace to sleep and lay their eggs, the other girls go in to a...
