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.Chicken update:
All are doing well. These little ones are so quiet, relaxed, & content. They are not needy & never peck at each other. Such a pleasure.
We have 4 black chicks. (One is a cuckoo orp)
We have 1 choc cuckoo orp
4 lavender orps (One was an assisted hatch & was over 2.5 days late! It's perfectly fine now.)
3 Silkie/EE(roo) x Wyandotte(hen) mixes.
Two have very clear chipmunk stripes, the other does not have the side stripes. (Could that be related to gender?)
All 3 are cute! One on left (below) has the biggest crest-like face.
One chick has 5 toes. (None have black skin)
I think you and DD had lots of courage to try hatching quail! I thought of it this season but not having an incubators I learned that due to size difference they could easily accidentally get hurt due to their tiny size. I'm living vicariously through your hatch!
