  • If you are raising quail, you'll want to replace your stock every 6 to 12 months, which means you'll either keep buying live quail, or incubate your fertilized eggs. Incubators can be expensive, but we found one that is inexpensive, holds 35 eggs, and gives great results. Don't let the price of an incubator keep you from raising quail!

    Little tip here. I cut the space where the cord connects on the styrofoam so that way i can remove everything without messing wjth the styrofoam. Easy peasy

    One of my baby quail have what looks to be like a club foot will that resolve on its own? And how often do they pass away after exiting the egg?

      @Axolotlpalz It’s a great little incubator. Since quail only lay consistently for about a year, it’s important to renew the flock regularly. The cost of this incubator is less than the cost to buy new quail!

    I have the same incubator but looks a little different and this is my second year of using it and love it..... But where I live I have to have it sat up where I can candle them in the same room because I don't want them out of the incubator any longer than I have to...

    • @HappyWifeAcres
      @HappyWifeAcres  Рік тому +1

      You can have them out for 15 minutes or more without any damage. Mama bird gets us a couple of times each day for that amount of time. Also, we use the IncuBright candler and it works great!

    Wow 2 years
    I may not get a response but may I ask how long did you have the auto tray moving for to get a good rotation on the eggs

    • @HappyWifeAcres
      @HappyWifeAcres  3 місяці тому

      Do you mean interval? It rotates every 90 or 120 minutes depending on the model.

    Did the Styrofoam come with the incubator?

      @HappyWifeAcres  3 місяці тому +1

      Yes, they all come styrofoam. Don’t throw it out!

    I use the same incubator as well it was great but have humidity problems with mine going to upgrade. Had hard time finding a video on this kept showing HHD incubators. One other thing i was not fan of is nothing to stop them jumping out when you go to get the chicks. I had a chick jump out and off the desk trying to get to me luckily i caught it mid jump lol.

    • @HappyWifeAcres

      Without it you’ll have to regularly check to make sure water is in the reservoirs. This small incubator runs out of water every 5 days, so check often.

    How much water do I need

    • @HappyWifeAcres
      @HappyWifeAcres  Рік тому +1

      Fill the channels with about 2 cups of water. Don’t overfill or water will drain out. Humidity is important but not super critical. Keep water in it but don’t stress about the exact humidity amount.

    • @kronik517
      @kronik517 9 місяців тому +1

      The average amount of water YOU need as a woman is roughly 2.7 litres of water per day. 🤓
