    My California Quail Hatching Adventure!

    Hello! That's great news! I'm still waiting too. I'm on day 23 and no pips yet. But I think I've seen one or two move. Just curious what humidity were you at before lockdown?

    My California Quail Hatching Adventure!

    I started my California Quail on May 11th (Day 0) and I except them to hatch around the 1st to the 3rd of June.
