How scary!! I learned... sigh... I feel so awful admitting this... you have to put eggs large end up and pointy end down. At least coturnix eggs. I found out I killed a bunch because they were malpositioned and couldn't hatch. I read and read about incubating but somehow missed that they don't...

My sister in law and I holding the 2 that have hatched. One has pipped too!
Oh my goodness, that is an amazing picture! I've been thinking of you every day even when I don't comment Hubby has been gone for 2 weeks on training and I've got 3 kiddos and 4 quail eggs on lockdown and part time work. I was so busy and exhausted I got mastitis. It was too much for my immune...
Awe I'm so happy for you Lucy! This was so great to read along. I'm desperately wanting to live somewhere that allows me to keep outdoor animals... ducks and chickens would be awesome.
