i just got quail a month ago and have started breeding them, cool to see a video from you guys about quail.

that was the coolest at the end with that one beginning to hatch

That is really cool that the incubator works. And to think, new incubators made mostly out of styrofoam sell for $200, you got a real bargain inventing that one. Congrats on the quail babies, hope that last one hatches too! Bummer more of the eggs weren't viable.

Yea, we are excited to try another batch of eggs sometime soon. That fourth chick that was hatching at the end was taking a very long time to crack out, much longer than the rest. It seemed like it was giving up so I decided to pull the egg open myself and it popped right out. It's doing good now and I think helping it was the right thing to do. We are putting that one last egg from 'The Concrete KID Mireya' on lock down today. You may find this interesting... we checked all of the dead eggs. Two of the eggs had partially formed chicks that died very early on, one egg contained a fully developed chick that seemed to have died very recently. The rest were empty. All of the eggs that had cracked in the mail were very dry inside. The cracks just create too much moisture loss.

wow that's totally awesome Doug and Ashley keep up the good work , 4 are better than none huh ?

I really enjoyed the video.

I have buyed incubator for first time and I am going to incubate chicks for first time! Is just 5 days before they hatch! I have 70 eggs in there.

Thats really cool. I really liked the end where you can see the egg move. Good job. Stay safe.

you do know if it has a small hatch rate if the quail still grows you can save it i had the same problem but i used i tooth pick to get the other chicks out of the egg that couldn't break thru the egg out of the shell only put it a little in then use tweezers to peel away the shell membrane then you can use your hands to make the hole bigger to let the chick out

This was awesome!!

Hi guy's just found your Channel and it's great.... I just recently got in to raising quail, my first hatch was the end March and got 43 chicks out of 56 eggs..... I'm hooked on my quail and love having them. My wife and daughters laugh at me because i'll sit out in the yard with my trusty cockier spaniel Bird dog Bo Bo lol for hours while they run around out side their coupe. I've already had quail eggs for breakfast and just pickled 130 eggs last week..... Yummy.... I also just finished my 2nd hatching today and i have 32 chicks out of 40 eggs ! Anyway my girls give me lots of eggs so if you would like to hatch more i would love to send you guy's some. Just let me know and we can make the arrangements. Keep up the good work on your channel..... Earl

Rural King does have a quail food. Pastel purple bag. Nature Serve. Turkey/gamebird starter. $12.50 for 20 pounds. 😉

In regards to your refrigeration problem. You might want to check out a restaurant supply or a warehouse store for single serving condiments. Especially mayonnaise. We used to ask for extra at the fast food restaurants and save them for the hunting camp. They generally don't need refrigeration as long as you open and use them in one sitting. Also, if there is a RV/camper salvage or junk yard near you. Many of the refrigerator/freezers use dual or tri power, propane 110V and 12v. Great job on your hatch! Martin

don't forget to dip their beaks in the water so they know where it is at.you probley all ready know that but just saying just in case.In a quail waterer i put marbles or pebbles in so there is very little risk of them drowning. you be surprised that they can drown themselves in such a small amount of water. when i have chicks i do grind the food down just a little finer then how they come in the bag. i use a mortar and pestle when i have a small batch of chicks. not to a powder but just a bit finer.blender and food processor works too.those small bags of game bird feed gets very expensive over time. you have to hunt around to find a type of high protein feed for them in your area. if the chicks lay flat on their belly with their legs spread out behind them don't freak out and think they are dead. they are not. they just do that they are a weird bird.

Lol, thank you for the tips. They have been drinking and eating so we are supper happy about that. That's a good idea about grinding the food up a bit. Lol, I got a little freaked out the other night because I walked in and two of them were lying on their backs, belly up. I have never seen a bird do that before. They jumped up when they saw me and they were okay, I guess they were just warming up their bellies under the lamp. They are a weird bird.

That's a lot of loss... Is that normal? I'm going to start raising quale soon. I have a giant cage an incubater on the way and I've started raising meal worms. So I'm getting ready. How exciting!!!! Very nice.. so you have a chicken heat lamp??? Is that right.. I'm excited for you...

@diyfferent

Here's a tip: Don't open the incubator at all from now on, until after they are done hatching. Opening it lets out necessary humidity and can kill the remaining unhatched eggs. Chicks can stay in the incubator until they are fluffed up even 2 days after they hatch. I hope you get a great hatch rate :)

You put your lightbulbs back in already? I'm confused I thought you were off grid for the month minus the incubator. Are the other quail picking on the one with the spot on his back or was it born that way?

@diyfferent

The one with the spot was still a bit wet from it hatching, he's all dry and good now. We still don't have any light bulbs put back in - the first clip with our lights on was from May 31 when we put the eggs on lockdown. The heat lamp is the only thing plugged in besides the incubator - basically the quail are exempt from the off-grid challenge, we just don't want to risk losing them.

Did you crack open the one damaged egg that had something in it? If your incubator does not have a fan I believe the temperature should be 101 maybe 102. Maintaining the moisture around 50% is easier to do than a dry hatch so next time a sponge in a dish of water may help the ones which developed but didn't hatch, hatch but as you started in other comments the damage from shipping was probably the largest limiting factor in the hatch rate. Also I feel you should have cleaned off the yoke because of the bacterial growth is probably worse than removing the natural coating. I do not know if you opened the incubator every day as you did not need to turn them by hand, but cooling the eggs for a few minutes every day before lock down is important. Cool incubator btw. If possible install a fan for a computer or sit a small personal fan inside to circulate the air.
