My first time ever incubating Quail eggs.

I get this uncontrollable urge to squeak when I see chicks. Okay I will try not to, but still, they're all so different and beautiful - that goes for all animals really. I'm totally in awe of nature.
Sounds like you're having better luck with these eggs than your last batch.
Make sure you post pics.

Haha, so do i! Actually it's more like a squeeky scream lmao!

But yeah i'll post pictures as soon as he hatches, might get lucky and actually get pics of him actually hatching. But i need to make sure i don't stay up all night waiting for him like i did the last lot haha. I need some sleep at some point......i'll give him til midnight lol

 

[Athaid]

Yup, that's it lol I do the same thing around hamsters. Especially robo's

Surely he will have hatched before midnight. If not then you'll probably wake up and he'll be there, all fluffy. Or maybe wet, I don't know how long it takes them to dry off
It would be amazing if you could get pictures of him hatching.

Hahahaha! yeah, any cute animals and i'm the same. Mind you, they are all cute lol.

I hope he does hatch before midnight. He's not pipped yet, i can just hear the tapping, so hes working on it

But if not, like you said, i'll wake up to a fluffy chick in the morning. They seem to take about 3hrs to dry out. Some a bit sooner and some a bit later, just depends on the chick i guess.

But being in the incubator all nice and warm overnight won't hurt it. I'll be up at 5am anyway as i need to ship some orders.

But yeah, i'm hoping to get some pics of him hatching this time, that would be really nice

 

[Athaid]

Yes, all animals, even those ones who look like they have butts for faces

I'm up at 5am too lol, no rest for the wicked.

 

[Breezy Optimist]

yeah i find i like the ones that everyone else thinks are ugly lol

Well, no chick yet, but he's still tapping away in there, so that's a good sign. I'll worry when there's no tapping

 

[Athaid]

He sure is taking his time. Maybe he heard you whistling to him and decided he didn't want to hatch after all lol.

 

[Breezy Optimist]

lol! You might be right!

But, good news, he hatched 20 mins ago Bit hard to see, as i can't open the incubator yet.

 

[Athaid]

Awww
