    Humidity, air cell issues on day 17

    Just keep an eye on it, I had to help a quail last night that was stuck zipped but couldn’t bust that thin layer of membrane because I let my humidity drop….but I could see the whole quail shrink wrapped. Added water with a tiny paintbrush and bam he burst out.
