WHY won't they HATCH? | Inspecting unhatched QUAIL eggs

[@agreedThroneLogic]

good detective work

Michele you rock. I love seeing your big smile when your family and friends ae having fun.

Too many people have talked smack about this incubator, and stressed me out. Anyways I’m glad you have a good hatch date so far. I have 32 good eggs so far out of 38. Hopefully they all hatch out ok with no issues.

[@thedouglaspodcast]

How did the hatch go???? 😭

[@luadraponies]

Hens actually being able to move the eggs around

[@honeybee3317]

Thankyou for showing this. My question is do you think with the NR360 it might help if the eggs turner was left in the incubator and eggs were propped up with fat end/ air bubble end- held upright by the turner? Perhaps that would orientate the chicks first pip. I had many eggs pipped in the wrong place as well.

[@dadosinteressantesdecacana582]

Thank you for sharing. Very good info.

[@dreamalittle4154]

What day can you open them up mine are on day 19 and not pipping

[@zavatone]

How many days went by before you determined to try ahd help the eggs out? I've seen my baby tuxes pop out in 15 days while bigger eggs from Southwest Gamebirds' selection are 18 day hatchers. Also, through 3 incubations on my Nurture Right 360 I have close to a 0% hatch rate even though the temp and humidity reads as expected and I've checked the temp against a thermometer. While in some Chinese incubator that rolls the eggs every 1.5 hours is popping out a much higher hatch rate well over 50%. I've even split some orders from SWGB between the NR360 and the Chinese one as well as eggs from my hens so I know it's not a bad batch. Not sure what is wrong with it but it's become a nice (expensive) backup brooder for the first day chicks.

nice work

[@painstudios148]

also make sure to wait till day 21

[@kristiemarie5288]

NONE of my eggs are hatching. No nothing 😢 what can I be doing wrong. I have the sailnovo incubator from Amazon

[@saleen235]

I have the same one and I had no problems with my first batch

[@QuailTale]

humidity or temperature is not good probably

[@athenakeesee9548]

I have that same incubator I believe. I had 33 quail eggs and 16 emerged and lived. 5 emerged and died, 5 more pipped and didn't emerge. The incubator has a MAJOR flaw which is there is no ventilation! There wasn't a way to vent and they were probably suffocating.

[@QuailTale]

why are they in the wrong position?

[@bryanmcpherson3576]

When you open the incubator it shrinkraps the ones that haven’t hatched

[@tatertotbobaandpieck]

Not really.

[@zavatone]

That's why I keep a sprayer inside the incubator and can spray warm water onto the shells and in the air to help make sure the humidity is high enough to keep the internal membrane moist.

[@moongypsyguerrero1925]

I an see his eyes

[@jezusova]

why quails don't want to hatch their own eggs, like chickens?

[@interests1094]

Am on day 18 and no movement
