Hi everyone.
Getting close to hatching season for me again.
Just wondering if anyone has done dry hatching?
Totally dry, no water even at lockdown???
How does it work compared to adding water only at lockdown?

Welcome to the club

Sorry to hear this Kathy
Good luck

Just came across this on Facebook

Just to update. I put sand in the coffee can lid I feed them in. All sand gone this morning!
They are so afraid of new things. The sand was just in a Pile on floor. ?? Wooooooowoooo scary I guess

Yes they do have sand in a section of the pen but don’t go in it? I sprinkled food on top of the sand but it is untouched On one corner there are several cedar bronchus stood up with a hiding place in behind. They only use that if I have my head stuck in the pen to feed? I’ll start picking them up e...

Sorry. Didn’t answer your question. Their pen is 4’ x 3’ and 2’ approx high. There are 6 quail in there

I will keep trying
Maybe I should start holding them?
I haven’t because I was afraid they would have a heart attack
