    Is my egg going to hatch?

    I have an egg in my incubator that hasn't hatched yet, the rest of my eggs hatched 2 days ago. So I'm wondering if this one will hatch. I have tried candling it, but the torch isn't bright enough or shell is to thick it just doesn't seem to allow the light in. I am yet to see if it sinks or...

    At the moment I just have seed I feed my finches. The mother Quail decided to abandon them, so I wasn't ready to take them in. Would you start feeding them straight away or? Thanks for the help :)

    Chick in need of a rescue!

    I stepped in, and just carefully and slowly removed some of the egg shell, and using a torch to see I even more carefully remove some of the membrane, I was able to lift the head out and the chick then pushed, wiggled around and came out of the egg. He's sitting warm in the incubator to dry...

His whole leg is just being held on by a piece of skin. The bleeding has stopped, but I don't know what I am going to do about his leg. Sorry...

    How long for a button quail egg to hatch naturally and will the mother care for the babies?

    How long for a button quail egg to hatch naturally and will the mother care for the babies?

    Okay thank you, and if the chance of them hatching and she doesn't care for them does happen, how would I do care for them? Do I need to make a mix up and feed them by a spoon or a syringe, like you do with budgies?
