Lonely Coturnix Quail Chick!

[Nervously Sweating]

I had a really really small batch of Coturnix Quail eggs in my incubator and fully believed none of them would hatch. However, yesterday morning, I walked into my room to find a single chick running around the incubator.
The baby is healthy, but so so alone. There are 3 more eggs sitting in the incubator and none of them have peeped yet (and it's already been 18 days), I don't know if baby'll ever get the company baby needs.

I don't know if I can keep up this lifestyle for a social bird like her... any advice?

Unless you can socialize with them most of the day, I think you should get it a friend. For now, get it a mirror and a stuffed toy for it.

Oh my gosh it's you!
I saw you had a similar issue so I was reading some of your forums!
I have the chick in a brooder with a hand sized stuffed monkey and a mini mirror since already, does that work?

Have you candled the remaining eggs? If the temperature in your incubator was a bit low, they may simply be late hatching. I would give them until day 20 before giving up. In the meantime, you can try a small stuffed animal and/or a mirror to help your lonely one. If you can get some chicks of the same age, that would be best.

I had candled the eggs the day before the current chick hatched and the evening after the chick hatched; maybe I did something wrong but compared to the last time I candled a batch of eggs, I couldn't see anything inside the eggs during the whole period of the incubation (all were either blue/clear or fully red except for the air inside). I was able to remove the eggs that were rotten based on smell, but even after candling all the eggs, I didn't even know that any of the chicks would hatch.

Basically, I don't know if any chicks are incoming; however, I think before I left the house today, I saw a lil crack in one of the eggs.

That sounds like the remaining eggs are dead. If you can post pictures, maybe we can tell you for sure.

Alright, when I get home, I'll try sending some images
