➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[Nabiki]

That dark thing...is from me?

Yes, it is! There are 3 more eggs left in the incubator that I expect to hatch and 3 that I don't. 2 of them are from the kiki batch, 1 from my mixed pen.

That dark thing came from an egg marked with a T.

Any big darker ones?

Any big darker ones?

Not really. They're all about the same size.

Two more eggs left that I expect to hatch! I'm going to bed soon, though, so we'll see if I have more chicks in the morning.

All of the eggs that I expected to hatch have hatched. One of the ones I didn't expect to hatch has a pip, though, so I'm not done yet. The two others don't look dead, necessarily, I was just not expecting them to hatch because there were no pips, internal or external, and no sound when I tap on them. I guess they get another day or two.

The quail is better today... it was weird. It was lethargic so I gave it some electrolyte water and put it under the brooder plate. Next day it’s running around like crazy. It’s hunched over more than the average quail chick but it’s surviving.

I called it Timmy

Experimental hatch from my mixed pen is done.
16 egg set
9 fertile
9 chicks

These are the last two eggs left from the @Kiki batch.

And all that have hatched from my SSC and mixed pen experimental batches plus the kiki batch so far.

22 celadon eggs went into lockdown yesterday and already have a few external pips today!

15 hatched so far (14 in this pic, 1 in incubator) and the 16th is unzipping as I type! And no, this is not their brooder.
