My button has gone broody.., yay!

It's been 5 days that's she's been sitting on her eggs. I had to make a hiding spot for her. Then I removed the other females, I only left her and the male. And that's when she went broody, right after I removed the other female. So wish me luck! Even the male helps with sitting on eggs. Yay! Lol I hope she has some hatch for her sake. So she can be a proud mama.

Thank you! I've noticed the male even feeding her, so cute!

Well in a day or 2 the eggs will hatch. she has been consistently laying on the eggs, with the help of daddy quail. I have candled 3 of them and all 3 look very good. There's about 10-11 total. I'll keep y'all posted.

Eggs should be due today. I'll try and snap photos once they hatch.

Here is hoping for the best! Maybe her daughters will go broody too...... Something good in that!

I candled them and saw that they had pip'd into the air sack. So that's how I knew they were coming, soon. Lol

All but one hatched, candled the last one and it looks to be forming but is late. Looks alive in there but at a few days after these, so it needs about 2-3 more days if you ask me. I had to seperate the babies from mama. I have 3 normals and 3 what looks like tuxedos. Cute!
