Hatching Quail From Shipped Eggs

[@happymrsbass]

Oh yay!!! Chris, you are going to LOVE your Whiskey Tango Farms quail! I have 23 adults from them and they are the calmest, sweetest birds I have ever hatched and I JUST hatched 25 more today. They are bright, energetic, and healthy birds. WTF is in my top fave hatching eggs sellers! Good luck with yours!

[@michaeljaguar1576]

Good to know, what are the other 4 that you recommend for your top 5?

[@meagadeth2metallica]

I like that turret press, I need to upgrade from my single stage rockchucker.

[@allysilver7048]

There is happiness in my heart when i see this man ; thanks for all the info

[@robertsevo7498]

nice touch with the rock chuck

[@savagestevens6398]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@Cayoot]

Looks like a Redding Turrent Reloading Press in the background. A man after my own heart! Other than that... Thanks for another great video.

[@timothyp3ttit494]

Never thought about putting all of the eggs together before lockdown so that they can all hatch together very interesting I am going to try that on my next hatch thanks for that tip Chris ;].

[@katrinakrakow5961]

Agreed.

[@tommyb1two3]

A lot of really useful tips and insights here that I think first time hatchers especially will find helpful 👍

[@everydayoilmommies5091]

Great video and very encouraging on shipped eggs. I just got great hatch rate on Myshire eggs. I’ll have to try whiskey tango farms too.

[@raymondschafer5065]

Love your videos Chris or Kris your very informative about this and your very detailed thanks for doing these videos!!!

[@ahmedalrahal1032]

God bless you.. what's the best kind of quails for aggs , meat and don't need permit. Thanks

[@TskQuails]

I just received my shipped eggs yesterday! 1 cracked out of 18. I'm excited for this new journey.

[@Slightlyrednecked]

Awesome. Good luck with your hatch.

[@diannakluge5214]

So glad you posted this, I have my first shipped eggs come in 2 days 😋

[@Junkyard_Dog]

How did it go?

[@garyb4929]

Great Video Chris; I haven't incubated in while, so good reminder & also, how you treat your shipped eggs. curious to see the blend of birds you wind up with. Thanks for sharing.

[@kathymcleod1460]

I worked the hatch rate out to 78.3% which is excellent for shipped eggs! Looking forward to seeing what the chicks look like.

[@Ryan-dr5cr]

Bro you’re starting with twice as much humidity as you should! You’d get better hatch rates starting closer to 50 and raising for the last couple days. Just something to try

[@nccrchurchunusual]

Why do the eggs rest 12 hrs after shipping? Shouldnt they be placed in incubator asap?

[@ashleywallace7385]

Dose the lockdown day also apply to bobwhite qauil, i have heard they need to go into lockdown on day 20.

[@davidmorgan2432]

Thanks for your very helpful videos

[@grantmchugh9670]

My first time hatching eggs was last month. We hatched shipped eggs. 21/60 eggs hatched and all but one of the chicks survived. We had 40 jumbo browns and 20 celadons. Only 2 of the celadons hatched. I’m curious how your hatch rate will be, because I’m not sure if it was error on my side or if it was due to the eggs being shipped! We followed your previous hatching videos closely.

[@tinacreel2995]

Do you have to keep new babies under a heat lamp for a few weeks

[@dynamicschwabee8207]

Hi, Chris! In my area our city council is deciding whether to approve city residents to be able to raise our own chickens. The mayor is definitely against it. We’re waiting to see if our requests to have chickens will be passed or not, but,,,after watching your videos and detailed information about quail raising-I think this would be a great way to get what I want and it’d be a lot easier than chickens! I’m anxiously awaiting the decision from city council, but,,,if I have these beauties in my garage/shop, they’d never know about them!?! My husband is not a farmer or a hands on guy at all, so I have my hands full trying to convince him to let me get into raising quail. My twin brother, though, is super anxious to have me get quail. Lol, I’ll have him do the processing part,,,,lol, but he’s not shy to things like that. He’s a hunter and fisherman. I don’t know why HE doesn’t get into this as well,,,,? Lol! Thanks for your great videos,,,and May God bless you, as well! Dee.

[@Slightlyrednecked]

Sounds like you have a good plan. Good luck with the city council and with your new birds (whether it be quail or chickens) :)

[@hugofq2imnmgarcia935]

Where do you get the quail eggs? do you have the address? Or website?

[@banditva8040]

i f i leave eggs in foam on counter all night. Do i need to turm them every so often all night long.

[@LindaIBrown]

Do you have to spray them with the cleansing spray?

[@queilayenner1280]

I got told from other Hatcher’s to spray 50/50 water and hydrogen peroxide 🤔

[@alysonriley3297]

This was the perfect amount of detail for me....thanks

[@midoreeya]

My eggs are currently in my homemade incubator..about 18 more days before they hatch😊

[@hermanprice5375]

What's a good all around incubator for eggs? Chicken, Emu, Peacock etc. I have a white Styrofoam that I inherited. Have not used it yet? Mine is just like yours, except mine has a knob where yours appears to be electric.

[@Thankful_.]

This is so fun to watch!

[@harleymichelle9420]

Just ordered scarlet fee from myshire farms and im anxiously awaiting the package 😂❤

[@2200chuck]

Hi Chris. Can you tell us whether or not you are using the optional circulating fan? Thanks

[@karenmcallister7411]

My temps were good till I went into lock down. My govee extra temp/humidity was in a turning tray with the eggs. Reading great. I placed eggs and govee on the floor of incubator. It has gone from 99.6 to 96.9. Is this ok? My govee and brinsea 56 ex incubator has never agreed. Incubator is showing fine. Any ideal on what should I do. I just started lockdown this morning.

[@sladjanasabados8587]

hello my name is Marijan from Serbia i watched your videos and its great material ...please would you help me i incubated eggs and very small number hatched out of 43 fertile came out about 15 the rest died in the shell ...i was satisfied but it was small hatching rate....what was the problem at yours opinion?

[@LindaIBrown]

Are you doing a dry or wet hatch?

[@robertcoleman4696]

I just wish someone would take the time and show what the birds look like week one week two and three after hatching.

[@mrjon75]

I was pleased with them.

[@ferni9878]

God Loves you all so much , God will always be with us to help us with anything ❤

[@robertcoleman4696]

33 of 60 made it to lock down. How many survived?

[@i72locomotive]

It looks like you started with 60 eggs and then only ended up with about 32 for lockdown. Could this be because you ran your humidity so high during 15 day incubation period? I generally run at about 42-45 percent humidity then bump up to about 75ish for lockdown. Thanks.

[@Cayoot]

Or is that a RCBS Turrent press?

[@simonl.3461]

Hi, just bought some adult coturnix quail. Do you think 6 month old/1 yr old hens will lay through winter with artificial light, and continue to lay through spring and next summer as well? I suspect that they have had artificial light for most of their life. really want to hatch out some of my own eggs next spring, and would be a bummer if my hens completely stopped laying before then. thanks in advance.

[@kathymcleod1460]

The hens will still lay eggs as long as light/diet requirements are met.

[@JNoMooreNumbers]

You could hatch your own when the others slow down for more production next year. My plan. I have one more bought batch 9f eggs hatching for the year then next year hatch out my own from 3 sources.

[@simonl.3461]

@@kathymcleod1460 Ok, but will my 1 year old hens run out of eggs/die before spring if i force them to lay all through winter?

[@JNoMooreNumbers]

One place I got eggs from were large compared to Myshire and they are all doing well right now popping out. Guess the other breeds for size. Getting quite a few double sized eggs from other quail in garage. Will be transferring some more to the brooder in a bit. Lost 2 weak tiny ones which seems to happen each time. It gets crammed in my little incubators. Seem to get a bunch then the rest 2 days later now. My cats chew on styrofoam so the plastic ones are okay but teeth marks where I left the incubator in the bottom part of styrofoam it came packed in. Glad I separated batches. Think one batch has the disease encyenylimitis? Big long weird word. One shaking after another then dying. Too many died one after another. Did nothing different. Wonder if I should put them all down and toss equipment. Have others in another incubator from elsewhere.

[@lisak7418]

I was going to post this video on my page for my friends to check out, but at the end you never showed the little peepers running around! One more segment would make this video complete.

[@DiegoVsWild]

Good video Chris, I was wondering if you could tell me I have been told incubated birds are infertile. Is that true? I’m looking to get two seperate lines and incubate from my own stock. Thanks

[@markbreault6390]

That is false, the birds will be fertile.

[@feeblefarmer9648]

Hey Chris, have you ever ordered eggs from KC Quail farm? Just wondered if so how it turned out.

[@tinacreel2995]

Which quail is the best meat quail

[@teresa_wiggins_gallery]

Jumbo coturnix

[@zavatone]

Nooo. No Listerene. If you must, you can use a dilute mix of hydrogen peroxide and water. Hopefully, you don't even need to spray at all.

[@LonnieWright-ee6sy]

I would like to buy eggs

[@selwynnewson851]

99.5 c or f great video

[@violencejack4508]

99.5 f. It is good to double check your incubator 's temperature mine was off 2 degrees.

[@misscarmen8611]

I had my first time hatching button quail with nine babies. Over three days. They looked great when I put in the brooder. Over twenty four hr all died. They were drinking and eating when first in brooder

[@wiltonmckenzie3076]

Next time try adding poultry vitamins mix to the water and starter mix it you didn't

[@nickijames4250]

I think buttons are even more sensitive than others. Temp is extremely important with them and even with quail wateres you have to put pebbles or something in there plus not giving them cold water. I had separate waterers and washed, refilled and left it on the counter to be room temp b4 next switching out. But honestly it's all a learning process so don't give up. Keep hatching!

[@SmooveDreamKiller]

I need help with my rabbit breeding can I have your email ?

[@SpYucaipaSoCal]

I disagree with your incubator humidity levels as do others in the comments. That’s about as nice as I can say it. 🙈

[@fastraxplayground5155]

What's with the gun? Are quail eggs dangerous??

[@tedmallen3139]

DO EGGS IN EGG TURNER PRIOR TO PUTTING IN INCUBATOR FOR 24 HOURS NEED TO BE TURNED DURING THE 24 HR PERIOD

[@nightskyabc]

Please don’t use the word lock down

[@mrjon75]

WTF

Is that really a gun you were showing on KZbin??😟
