➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[Kale the Quail]

Sorry for all the pics and I know it’s probably still a bit early/young but can anybody help me with colors or know what I might have??

Especially curious about the silvery ones like in the first pic, the white one, and the little runty yeller with silver looking stripes? Also some of the reddish ones have white feathers coming in on the wings? Is this normal? And the colors may be a tad off... they look a bit darker in these than in person. But yeah.

If anybody has any ideas, I would really appreciate. Not that it really matters but I’m just curious what I might have.

Oh and ignore the poop please. I had literally JUST cleaned the brooder and they pooped immediately after putting the clean ones down

@Fenrisulfr and @muddy75 ?

Thanks for tagging them! Hopefully someone knows. I’m mostly just curious haha I really like the silvery ones and the white/yellow ones.

Oh and I should note that they are the feather sexable variety from Myshire, at least they’re supposed to be, if that helps at all.

No.

Why not move him to a warm brooder?

I was trying to leave them in for 24 hours since people always yell at me on here for taking them out before then so they don't roll eggs as much. I was trying to think of a way to keep him still and not take him out

Oh my... I would never leave a quail chicken in the incubator for 24 hours.

 

[JacinLarkwell]

I really don't like to, I usually take them out as fast as I can. So you think that they're okay to move when they're dried off?

 

[Fur-N-Fowl]

I always take any that hatch out as soon as they are dry regardless of if there is others pipping or on with hatching. If they’re ready to come out, they come out.

My incubators bring the humidity back up within 30 seconds or so though so I have no issues.

It’s fine! Don’t listen to dumb dumbs that tell you otherwise. I even took some of mine out like half an hour after they hatched.

 

[JacinLarkwell]

Okay awesome. I'll hurry up and finish adding shavings to the brooder when I get home and move any hatched ones to the brooder. Should I offer food and water right away or wait until tomorrow morning? The first hatched around noon so they still have some yolk energy

Also anything special I should have in the brooder that's specific to quail? This is my first time brooding and I know it's normal to lose one or two the first time but I paid a lot for the eggs and want to raise as many as I can

I see Pharaohs, Italians, Falb Fees and maybe a few Pearl Fees ... they are difficult to differ from Italians at this stage.

The silvery one is probably a Falb Fee.
