➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[Kiki]

i had 2 more hatch this morning and 1 more is pipped and still moving the pip flap. i am trying to occupy myself because i’m “itching” to assist! the last one to hatch this morning has curled feet and is much smaller than the others even though egg was similar size. wishing i had bought the sav-a-chick at rural king yesterday but i will mix up my vitamin electrolytes and start giving that to all in their water. hoping not to have to put on hobbles. wishing now that i had planned on more quail babies for december instead of ordering more chicken eggs! but definitely going to do more qualies for 2019!!!

Give it a day or two...after it starts eating it's feets should straighten out. Get Nutri-Drench next time your at the store.

10 out as of last night. we finally assisted the little guy that had been working all day. his egg was in the questionable pile and the membrane was too thick and leathery for him to get out on his own. i’m going to go ahead and crack the last few later this morning to see if anymore alive as it’s now 3 days since first hatch and i’m afraid that more membranes may be tough like that one

Any noise coming from the ones left?

Have you held them up to your ear to listen yet?

i will candle and listen again before i crack....i threw out 3 of the “clears” yesterday and now i’ve been questioning that as i have no idea where the egg that hatched last night came from but the chick inside was big so it couldn’t have been in the remaining “clears”

Next time you could write a number on each egg with a pencil or permanent marker to help keep track of the better.

I might over do my keeping track of stuff.

I just got a new present.
I rinsed it off and put it on a normal egg to make sure it was just one funky egg and not two.

I'm guessing I have another new layer in the house.
