I purchased 12 BCM eggs for my Brodie hens I have 5 unhatched eggs. Hatch day was Sunday, how long do I continue to let them sit??
2 eggs went missing
1 hatched and died
I accidentally squished one egg due to a weak spot in the egg and a mama the pecked at me( a week before hatch day)

Update on dribbles. ....
He is doing great, his eye opens just a little and his feathers are growing back. He seems to be very happy, we have not gotten any females yet but he is outside in a cage near our chickens. He does let me pet him now too. I'll get a new pic if him later tonight
Thanks. I was given a male, he will be kept Indoors and held daily. I'll look for a hen or two though also. He was beat up by the other quail and issmall for his age, blind in one eye, and missing feathers,the feathers will grow back but the eye may be a gonner . This is Dribbles
This little guy had yesterday he's doing great running all over his brooderbox but his feet are all curled in. I read that you could straighten them with shoes but he's so tiny how do I get the shoes on him without damaging him??
My hen was sitting on 5 eggs this morning. one hatched and looked very active but a couple hours later it was in the grit box dead with it's leg broken in half! There is another egg currently hatching but one of the adults keep pushing it out of the nest into the grit box. I don't want it to die...
