➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

This piece of extremely fine thread was wrapped around his little leg.

It's part of the umbilical cord.

Is his leg straighter now?

 

[casportpony]

How about something like this?

Is his leg straighter now?

I'll check in a minute I had to walk away for a second.
I got him unstuck and then put him back in the incubator.

Poor little fella

Do you think that thing wrapped around his leg was what was causing it to be pulled out like that?

And does he have pasty butt too?

47 so far. There are more newly hatched in the bators, but I'm not counting them until they move to the brooder. So many colors!

Yes I think it was pulling his leg into a jacked up position.
And no...
That was just hatch gunk stuck to him.

They don't poop that soon after hatch.

Did a day 5 candle on my homegrowns. 13 look fertile, 6 uncertain and 1 early quitter. Most of the uncertain are eggs that are definitely from the younger layers.

I was thinking all of them would be from the young rooster too but I read something about how long eggs can be fertile after a rooster is removed. The original rooster was with them until just a few days before I started collecting. Anyone know how that works in quail?

 

[Kiki]

I think my pansies are not pansies.
Could I have gotten an assortment of eggs on accident?

I see orange, red, pink, black and yellow.
