The pain is realOMG, I'm so excited! Have 19 duck eggs in the incubator (along with 10 goose eggs - not as far along) and they've all pipped. 2 externally pipped at the wrong end, 4 have internally and externally pipped, and the rest have internally pipped. All are moving well and cheeping away, so nothing to worry about, but WHY DOES IT TAKE SO LONG?!?!?! Anyway, i thought I'd start a thread so I can post pics when they FINALLY hatch...
Thanks. Gives me a bit of a time frame to work with. That is an amazing hatch rate!!!! I started with a ton of eggs, some I think we're a bit older, but had 22 start developing. One quit right after it started so had 21. Just removed 5 that quit and left 1 I think quit but giving it time and 1 that looked iffy. Hopefully the rest make it.I had internal pipping the evening of the 26th day, external morning of 27th day. By end of day 27 I had only 4 external pips. By end of day 28 all eggs had externally pipped. All babies hatched day 30. It was a LONG wait, but all 19 eggs (out of 22 originally) hatched. Last one is finally out of it's shell!
Awww they are so cute!!!I’m more of a chicken person, but here is a pic of my 11 quails! They are 4 days old
Edit: I forgot the picture! Well, let’s just say I’m an amateur film maker and a bird enthusiast for a reason………… I bet I wouldn’t make it as a scientist
Quail are so stinking cute! My oldest wants to get some, but we need to get accommodations ready for them first. Lots of critters around that would like a snack!I’m more of a chicken person, but here is a pic of my 11 quails! They are 4 days old
