I thank this @hagro community for the opportunity to bring my stories, progress, and joys with my quail breeding.
About 6 months ago I started with the idea of learning everything related to quail breeding. It has not been difficult to learn but it all depends on your interest. I have learned a lot in a self-taught way, reading, asking questions, and taking action with my hands, among other things.
I can proudly say that in this month I have continued with more tenacity with the idea of promoting and increasing my ideas of breeding in the first instance and marketing quail in the second. I have had several unsuccessful experiences but that has not stopped me. I take everything as an experience and not as a failure.
I wanted to have some quail eggs in the incubator and they all died. None of them hatched or reached chick formation age. I think it was all due to a bad calibration on my part of the parameters of my incubator. I delegated the responsibility to someone else and he did not do it right and the incubator did not complete its process.
Then I did it myself, I calibrated it following the standards of the company that manufactures the hygrometers and I started it up, I succeeded, and my incubator worked perfectly. So I started again with 11 eggs from which 6 beautiful birds have hatched, strong and vigorous until today. They are already 6 days old and are doing very well.
Now I have put 23 eggs back in the incubator. There were some inconveniences at the beginning because my house's electricity service has been altered in the last 5 days. I hope this will not affect their development. Today the incubator is working normally with the right parameters, I am very happy with the process.
The other adult birds are fine, except for one of them that died today, I think she could not lay her egg because I heard her cry very often yesterday but I had never seen one die, today I did not see her egg so I dare to say that it was due to poor posture. Today the first one died and that saddened me but it doesn't discourage me. I continue to learn each time with more enthusiasm.
I learn by reading the questions that other quail breeders ask in the WhatsApp groups. I read and learn for when one of those eventualities like the one I experienced today with my dead bird might happen to me. They are not sick, not eating poorly, taking vitamins and there is no overcrowding in my cages. I am moving forward.
I wanted to share with you this progress in breeding and hatching my new birds. I have 6 beautiful little quails and in two weeks I will have the next generation with better results if my God allows me.
Thank you, reader friends for stopping by, reading, and commenting.

I'm glad to see that you are progressing, I hope it all keeps getting better
