It's lock down day for us, on our first batch of button quail eggs that we ordered from Burton's Pirogue Aviaries on ebay. I'm interested to see if anyone else is also incubating eggs recently shipped
Stats
Egg source: Burton's Pirogue Aviaries
Species: Button Quail
Origin: Missouri
Destination: Oregon
Shipping condition on arrival: box appeared to be in good condition, eggs were well wrapped. They were placed in a cardboard egg carton, surrounded by sawdust, wrapped inside a bubble mailer, which was placed inside a box padded with more bubble mailers and other packing materials.
Amount ordered: 15
Received: 20, two had hairline cracks in them only detected via candling prior to setting
Amount of eggs set: 18
Time allowed for these eggs to rest: 12 hours
Time and date set: 12:00 am March 12th
Incubator used: Little Giant Forced Air incubator with egg turner, quail rails installed.
Temperature: consistent 99.5 to 100.00 degrees
Humidity: has been between 60% to 70%
Fertility rate: so far all eggs have developed and appear to be alive. 4/18 have egg shells too dark to see through more than the pointy end, but veins are visible even on these dark eggs.
Hatch results: To Be Determined
Other notes: I have incubated eggs before but this is our first time using this incubator. So far it has been doing great. I have tested it with three other thermometers and humidity meters and it's sensor does appear to be reading accurately. It was a birthday present from my husband and I am so excited to hatch these eggs! The incubator is in our dining room which stays around 68 to 70 degrees.
I will update this thread as things progress and I hope others will share their experiences. Feel free to use the stat format I used above, I'll leave a blank version here. Of course change it if you can think of other things to include!
