➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[Kiki]

Would an egg rolling from one side of the incubator to the other be a death sentence?

It feels like a Friday doesn't it?

Oh, good!

1 egg or all of them?

It actually does.

1 egg or all of them?

I eat a lot of egg rolls when it’s all I’m having.
I am so funny!!
One rolled from one side to the other when I was moving the incubator to the sun porch. The power was out for over three hours. The porch was 82*, so the best place.

It's dead.

Thanks for the help—I just didn't want to open up an egg that might still be viable. Will do eggtopsy/necropsy later.

On a happier note, I have 26 super active chicks out of 29 fertilized eggs—a better hatch rate than any of my previous rounds.

Here, have some baby pictures:

Under the plate (pardon the poop!)

One of five "yellers," each a different color.

A little ginger-y chick.

Can't wait to see how these two feather out.

They're coming, hold on! Fingers crossed for a quick and healthy hatch.

I opened up my last egg—it was dead, as expected. Looks to have quit about a day before the others hatched. Was surrounded by unabsorbed yolk and quite a bit of congealed blood.

Spoiler: Warning: Dead Chick

RIP little chick.

The dog has become very interested in the chicks tonight. He just stands there staring at them.
