That is altogether TOO CUTE!

@Faraday40 , I thought you'd like to hear that I've quoted your science experiment hatching eggs from the various sources. Anyone I tell is fascinated!

Just a mini update on my Nov chicks, which I'll have to follow with some pics: The hatch was 2 pullets, 1 cockerel. Wavy the cockerel is named that bcs his beak is curved--not a scissor beak bcs both top and bottom meet exactly but the whole beak curves. Bizarre. When I saw that I thought of the...

The quail are too cute! Thanks for posting pics. The 3 that hatched here Nov 26th are Peaches (pullet), Chula (pullet also) and Toni (cockerel). Girls juststarted laying. They were sneaking eggs into their mom's nest while she was brooding new eggs, which as you can guess has lead to an...

Really I understand the worry...I've just gone through it too! My silkie eggs just sat, sat and sat with no pips at all. They were due to hatch the 24th into early on the 25th. Passing right by those dates, on day 22 they had hatched. I went to sleep with no pips and woke up with 3 babies (which...

I Love that little wet face! Congrats!

WoW! Good going little peep!

All of the little peeps are beautiful and so different too! I'm sorry you lost one of the quail. For a first time quail hatch the others are doing great. And I hope the other little one is a Button quail instead of a non-thriver. I think you and DD had lots of courage to try hatching quail! I...

Thanks very much! Mima does have grey and some dark (black or dark grey) "splashes" all over. If genetics was my primary interest when I got the 2 of them, and if I'd known more about color/genetics combinations I likely would have paired differently. So I Really truly thank God for my ignorance...

@Cynthia12, those are gorgeous! They look like have have on little bandit masks! I love the look on the face of the one on the left (pic 2). I'm new to this so I only know what I've seen in my own hatches (this total 3 in all) and what I see here. So, not to sound like a dummy but do you think...

I'm keeping an eye on your posts and following along! The "Big Day" will be here soon...even though it doesn't feel like that, I know!

@Faraday40 and @ FridayYet, thanks for the sweet comments and awesome advice!!! Not sure why I didn't think of this sooner but tomorrow morning I'll take a few pics of the "silkie house" to show how I did the set up as closely as possible to your suggestions. I've never had chicks so close to...

Isn't it interesting that so many people this month have had or are having late hatches!? My mind always puzzles around things like that. Congrats to all of the humans for such good care and patience...and Skill! and Happy hatch day to and little peeps! We're so happy you're here!

Dark grey which most often has turned blue with partridge head and hackle. Next is the little yellow one. So far both hatches had one of this exact color become bright orange, just like the dad. And this one is the light grey... These little ones came out 2 days late! They're well...

Here is peep 3.

Does anyone know if there's a way to "share" pics off the [hone/camera directly here? I'm able to share direct to email or facebook, etc. I try to download the pics I've sent to my own email but it only saves them incorrectly as documents (html). New laptop, old brain!

I just want to check in and say I've met the 3 beautiful chicks this morning. They were all late comers to the party and all were fully hatched early in the morning. By their stickiness I'm thinking they hatched at sunrise. These little buggers went from absolutely no pips on any of the eggs to...

In my hatching frenzy I forgot to wish everyone Happy Thanksgiving and Safe hatching. I hope I can jump on the happy wagon with all the awesome hatches here! I checked about an hour ago and still see no activity. Yesterday 4:30 p.m. was exactly 21 days. Weathers been cool lately but warmed...

Beautiful!!! I looked at the pics and thought "those are really unusual looking chicks...I wonder what they are". Then I read the text and saw they are chicks, but Quail chicks. Is it common to see them hatch in both colors? The darker striped ones look already like quail. What will the little...

This one is still going forward in a very crazy way! The egg I saw with what I thought was a zip was not. Later that day the egg was smashed and when I removed it I saw the exact same thing inside as the 4th egg that she lifted out of the nest. It was not anything that was viable. There was a...
