So, I am nearly certain that my last few eggs are not going to hatch. One was a late incubation quitter. I did an eggtopsy on that one. The others had kicked it around while hatching so it had a bit of a damaged spot. By the time I decided to go ahead an open it, it was dead. It wouldn't...

They are from mine. Sometime over the next year I'll need to order some coturnix eggs, but I should be okay without ordering button quail eggs for a while. I have a pretty good genetic assortment there for now since I started with so many more birds. I only started with four coturnix, though...

Mrs. Fluffy Puffy : Why don't you send him on over to me ... Rozzie: Those buttons are super cute! You still haven't told me what color they are ... Do you mean what color they'll be when they are grown? That's a good question. I honestly don't know. I figure the dark one pretty much has...

Yes. That is a beanie baby turkey. I went digging through my things to find something soft for the babies to huddle against. The others have done so well that way that I decided to make this my normal practice for small batches of babies. Anyway, I saw that beanie baby turkey in my bin and...

Silver Phoenix -- They are spectacular!

That one on the left is absolutely adorable!

Here are the first four as of about 45 minutes ago: Here is the newest little guy. A few minutes later: He'll be ready to move into the brooder soon. Here are the button quail that hatched the day before yesterday. Still no pips or anything on the remaining eggs. Here's hoping...

September hatch, so far: 3 button quail eggs set -- all 3 hatched & doing well. 2 days old. 12 coturnix quail eggs set (today is hatch day!) --One egg damaged & patched with glue -- successfully hatched with a little help (it would not have been able to zip through the glue which was over 1/3...

We are hatching today! Right now I have 3 coturnix babies hatched & two pipped. That's out of 12 eggs, 3 of which I'm pretty sure didn't develop (all eggs from the same mother). The one that I glued is alive and well!!!!!! I really didn't expect that baby to make it. I "munched" the...

It looks like I have a pip in progress! The little thing isn't quite through the shell yet. It's right at 16.5 days, so we're right on track here. (Coturnix quail...)

Silver Phoenix -- glad that baby made it! Thanks for the idea about the bathroom, too. My hatch is due any moment. I keep getting up to go check, but no babies have pipped yet.

How much you wanna bet the rest of my babies hatch tomorrow when I'll be so busy I can hardly think straight, instead of Thursday when I can watch them all day if I want to? They could hatch either day. All 3 button quail are doing well. I am now waiting on the 12 coturnix eggs. I have not...

Third (and last) button quail baby is hatched. I can't believe how late they were. I "know" I set the coturnix eggs on August 13. The mother button quail had been on her eggs for AT LEAST three days at that time -- I'm thinking more like 4 days. That means that they were two or three days late...

The babies are happily moved into a brooder. I figured I'd best do it now before anyone else pipped. They are snuggled up against a beanie baby, though they much prefer my hand. It would be nice if the last button egg would hatch, but I'm happy with the two! The 2nd one is still a little...

Two babies hatched so far! I put 12 coturnix eggs in my Brinsea Advance on Monday, Sept 13 at 9:30 AM. This morning at about 11:30 they went into lockdown. However, I will have to disturb lockdown at least one time. I also have 3 button quail eggs in the incubator. A mama was on the eggs but...
