Eggs in the incubator

[2busy]

I put 60 chuckar partridge eggs in 2 weeks ago and 35 more in the other day. Been freeze dry the quail eggs. Just packaged up 16 dozen. I put 4 dozen in each mylar bags. 4 dozen quail eggs is about 1 dozen chicken eggs . Chuckar eggs are the white ones and slightly larger than the coturnix quail eggs. I get several double yolked quail eggs ( extra large on left side)

@Kwaynen gave me some fresh quail eggs awhile back. Took a half dozen to equal one medium chicken egg in the skillet but danged tasty.

Very nice! Do you have a large cabinet style incubator?

It's a beverage cabinet like you see up by cash register. 60w incandescent bulbs for heat controlled by inkbird digital controller. I just have the egg turners sitting on the shelves. I have two shelves empty. I transfer the eggs to a container for the final 3 days to hatch. It's in another building I use for storage. I'd take a picture but it's cold and I don't want to go up there tonight. It's probably a hundred yards from the house.

That’s cool! I love it! Build your own on the cheap instead of putting $1,500 into one of those big fancy incubators

It has the fan in the top also. I just add water to a jar lid to put humidity in.
