➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[Kiki]

Yes, you looked it up before. I may be wrong but suspect you just need the one permit for both.

I'll look again.

They got dirt.
They aren't too sure about it yet.

Crunchy is a midget.

I can’t wait to start getting eggs I’ll have a constant rotation of babies

These finches hair-dos are killing me!
Their bangs.
What kind of finches are these?

I was thinking the same thing with the little part in their head feathers. Super cute.

I've got the eggs (about 4 out of 7 per day), they've just gotta be fertile now!

 

[Serin]

Oh my goodness!
How many eggs did you give them?

This is too precious.
MORE PICS PLEASE!

Four, three hatched tonight and one isn't even pipped - either even more late or dead in shell, but it's still in there under her. The finches helped the quails hatch by chipping away the shells, the two dark ones I assisted as they seemed to be struggling to get out - low humidity maybe. They are doing well now, everyone is dry, brooding under their "parents". I have them with a mother society finch and her two grown daughters, they are all helping but the mother is especially maternal and is very protective of her weird babies. I am not sure how she will react when they start to leave the nest tomorrow (which baby finches dont do for 4 weeks) which I've moved to the floor of a small rubbermaid container in a small cage. There's powdered gamebird crumble and a tiny water tube in the bin for them just a few inches away and the finches will show them where the food and water is, I just hope they go back to the nest to be brooded if they get cold or we will have to set up a brooder. Which I think is not as good as a bird mother, even of the wrong species.

I think it's a wild, a cinnamon, and a silver?

 

[Serin]

Oh, how cute. Society finches, right? I've been eyeballing them at the pet store. Can they live with zebras?

I do not recommend it, zebras are aggressive and in my experience they terrorize the gentle society finches to death.

Who has button eggs?
