    What colouring is this?

    I am very curious to see yours since I have never heard of snowflakes being brown

    What colouring is this?

    Earlier this year I hatched 3 snowflake bobwhites from eggs bought from Ebay. They have all grown well with no issues but when they first hatched, I got this nearly pure white chick while the other two were just normal black and white. The white chick is now matured and she now has these brown...

    Bum is still wet after drying for 6 hours

    Hello, one of my quail eggs hatched yesterday and they are completely dry except their bum. Is this pasty bum or just dried feathers? They did poo in the incubator earlier. Sorry if it is hard to see in the image. Thanks. Edit: I decided to wash the crusty feathers with warm water on a cotton...

    Egg not hatching after pipping for more than 2 days

    Only the egg that pipped earliest hatched but the second should be soon! I doubt the third egg will hatch because they have developed very late (still hasn't shadowed but is moving). Thank you!

    Egg not hatching after pipping for more than 2 days

    Yep! They externally pipped early Friday, i'm not sure about the humidity exactly but I have been putting water in. I don't remember seeing any veins while candling them. I have seen them pecking at the membrane since starting this thread so I think I will just wait another day. Thanks.

    Thanks for responding. I did candle them before I put them back and I saw movement.

    Egg not hatching after pipping for more than 2 days

    Hello, I am hatching bobwhite quail egg. It has been over 2 days since one of the eggs pipped and I am wondering what I should do. Earlier today, I picked away some of the broken shell and dampened the membrane after, I then added more water to the incubator and put them back. I am a little...

    What is the latest time a Bobwhite quail can hatch?

    Thank you for responding! It seems my eggs are acting similar to how yours are, shadowing after day 22. I am using the 7 egg incubator that normally sells for around £20, I know this isn't the best incubator to use but I was only aiming to hatch a couple chicks to keep as pets. I have not...

    What is the latest time a Bobwhite quail can hatch?

    Hello, I am currently incubating 3 Bobwhite quail eggs. It is day 26 and so far, only one has pipped. I have kept the temperature at 37.5⁰c and the humidity up throughout the whole process. What is the latest time a Bobwhite quail can hatch? I am very worried because I know they are meant to...

    Bobwhite quail eggs not hatching after 25 days?

    Hello, today is day 25 of incubating my Snowflake bobwhite eggs. I ordered 6 eggs and 4/6 were fertile but one out of those had died, so I currently have 3 eggs in my incubator. One egg has developed very slowly, it suddenly had movement at about day 18 and then, the chick was still quite small...

    Hello from the UK!

    I have joined this community because I am currently trying to hatch bobwhite quail eggs for the first time, and I needed to ask a question about them. I have had 2 chickens before (not sure about their breed) and once I put 2 fertile eggs under them, they both hatched! I loved raising chicken...
