I love those aprons!!!
That is too cute, and probably entirely necessary to protect their backs.

Thanks! All my ladies wear their saddles. They really do need them :) They have a nice selection to choose from lol

Woke up this morning to find two more chicks hatched! I think that's probably it out of the five that developed. I candled the other two eggs today (day 22) and there wasn't any movement.

Congrats on the hatch. Unless the eggs are clear, it doesn't hurt to remove the chicks & leave the eggs in there for another day or two. If dead, they'll stay dead, but if alive there's a little hope. Sometimes an egg can be in a cool spot & be delayed. It's a long shot, but I once cleaned out the incubator when I though the hatch was done. When doing the egg-topsies, I found one of my precious shipped eggs was still alive & probably could have made it. (Me opening the egg was what killed it.)

Do you make those yourself or get them from somewhere?

Those are such pretty quail, how old are they now?

Thanks! I'm honestly shocked that any hatched at all. This was my first hatch, they're bantams, and they were shipped eggs from Florida. We're in California, so, that's a haul and a half for some eggs!

Still no movement on day 23, so, I pulled the last two. Eggtopsies looked like one probably quit right around lockdown. The other one was much closer, but, wasn't alive and wasn't positioned correctly. So sad. I could see her little black wings with white tips, just like her brothers' and sisters'.

But, I have three happy and (now) very perky chicks from my first hatch, so, I'm very happy overall.
