I always used to get disappointing hatching rates using humidty recomended by Thear. A tip from the lady from whom I buy my fertile eggs suggested not using humidity and my hatch rates increased. Is this a confusing business?

Unfortunately I don't know the weight of a button quail egg at day one. If you have continued to weigh the eggs daily then you may be able to work out the average daily loss. eg you say they now weigh 6 grams if on day 10 they weigh 5.5grams then you would do 6 take 5.5 divided by 6 and times by 100 to get the percentage =18.18r weight loss divided by 10 days=1.818181times this by number of hatch days 1.818181 times by 17 =30.9% percentage weightloss which is too much. Quail need to lose between 11-13% weight loss Have you tried candling the eggs? Good luck with the hatch. let me know how you get on. Kind regards sara @ farmingfriends Hi Tony,
