Nice job, I’m looking into raising some quail in mid 2024 so I’m learning as much as I can. Thanks for sharing and hope you have a Merry Christmas.

[@MickenzieL]

I've never seen quail hatch. How neat!

[@go_Rogue]

Thanks for watch! It was so much fun and I'm hooked. Will definitely be hatching more.

[@SonniesGardenPA]

So exciting, Today is my lockdown day, Just found your channel. You had a good hatch rate!

[@go_Rogue]

How exciting, Best of Luck, I've been lucky with the Hatch rates. Hardest part is not opening the incubator once they start hatching. It can take 2-days for them all to hatch and you have to leave the 1st hatchlings in there.

[@LittleFrenchyinBigTexas]

We have the same incubator. Not my favorite ones for quail eggs. We ended up buying a quail rail for our little giant. It now holds something like 120 eggs. And we got sooooo many babies.

[@go_Rogue]

Just finished my 2nd hatch and so far my hatch rate has been 95 % I live in an HOA neighborhood so I'm good with small batch. I start a batch a few weeks before I harvest. So far so good.

[@julieyoung2920]

hi I wonder if you could show the set up that you have your quails living in please. appreciated

[@go_Rogue]

I would except I don't have any quail at this time. I will hatch again in spring. I havea hatching time brooder then they move outside to growout cages, basically 2 x4 rabbit hutch. I have 6 of those so I can separate them into color groups with 1 roo for every 6-8 hens. 1 cage just for extra roos

[@georgezink8256]

My eggs flown from California to Ohio started hatching on day 16 and last one hatched on day 19

[@georgezink8256]

65% successful on my eggs

[@go_Rogue]

That's awesome! I'm waiting on eggs now coming from Florida

[@graftedbranchhomestead]

Maybe I missed it but what was your hatch rate you got?

[@go_Rogue]

I've hatched several since the batch in this video. My average hatch rate runs between 85 - 95% I have had one batch that hatched 100% but lost 2 in the first week. My most recent batch was 12 eggs, 11 hatched lost 1 10 are now 2 weeks old.

[@BadBoyBreeze13]

Are use the same incubator got the eggs from the same people almost none of them hatched out of that incubator, and then I bought a different incubator off of Amazon, and almost all of them hatched out of the other incubator that was cheaper. It was only like 100 bucks

[@go_Rogue]

I have 2 Nurture right 360 and typically get a 90% hatch rate. Got these off of Amazon too, not expensive

[@WakandaDigitalGroup]

Bad to move to brooder on day 1 or no?

[@go_Rogue]

Chicks can stay in the incubator for up to 3 days but I find they get really hungry so I typically move them to the brooder after 24 hours unless I have several other eggs that have pipped then I will wait until it's safe to open the incubator.

[@NoneyaTexasontheback20]

I got like 300 eggs I hope we have good hatch rate, seems to not be so good

[@go_Rogue]

WOW! That's a lot of eggs! Are they from your own quail or did you get them from someone else? I'm gonna hatch some blue egg layers next.

[@NoneyaTexasontheback20]

@@go_Rogue they are from my quail....lol

[@go_Rogue]

@@NoneyaTexasontheback20 So you know the eggs aren't fertile untill 2 weeks after the male is with the female That could effect your hatch rate

[@jenniferb.9404]

What do you do with them?

[@go_Rogue]

I raise them for meat and eggs

[@Lord_Of_All_Devils]

So you lockdown on day 15

[@go_Rogue]

For quail , Yes, of chickens No

[@happyhoppershomestead8664]

How many out of your 30 hatched?

[@go_Rogue]

Thanks for visiting I had 92% hatch rate on this batch so 27 hatched. I just hatched another 30 last month and humidity issues but still had a 50% hatch rate. nd I have another 20 in the incubator now. should hatch out next week

[@happyhoppershomestead8664]

I have 24 in the incubator right now jumbos I got from myshire. Can't wait to see what I get.

[@go_Rogue]

@@happyhoppershomestead8664 love myshire always have great hatching rates with their egg. I got eggs from an Etsy seller and got 2 out of 30. Never again

[@MorrisPatchofHeavenhomestead]

New friends here just subbed, come on over for a visit. Look forward to connecting. We just hatched out a bunch of barnyard mix chicks. We have never done quail definitely on the list one of these days. Blessings

[@deborah7398]

Carla, if you're single and like your men big, buff and free spirited you should meet my stepson Jeffery!

[@go_Rogue]

Not sure how to reply to this...Thanks??

[@hannaparker5434]

Creepy

[@kalypsspylak1659]

I am addicted to this help 🥹 i keep incubating every 17 days 🤣

[@go_Rogue]

It is habit forming. And that's okay as long as you can care for them or have a plan for rehoming them. The first bad hatch and you'll slow down.
