    all who are hatching quail

    As expected i did get several chicks that took far too long to pip and zip out. Had to assist several. I've buried 5 chicks since hatch, expecting another to die unless i can try prevent it, looks unlikely though.

    all who are hatching quail

    Put 25 Coturnix into the incubator yesterday, They were couriered so maybe that will affect hatch rates, But it hasn't had a big impact from previous hatches. Going to invest in a bigger incubator with an auto turner later this year. Wanting to hatch some Tuxedo's I really like their...
