➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[007Sean]

Same here only with a cabinet incubator. The chicks, keets or poults would fall out of the tray and be running around on the bottom of the incubator.

That happened when I first started with a cabinet incubator....40 some odd years ago! That's when I started to pay closer attention to hatch day and remove them from the turning trays down to the bottom tray with HC over the top of the tray!

We go three teeny goobers

the other 11 eggs feel light and i dont hear anything. I've left them in the incubator for another day, just in case

They are so cute!! Can you put something next to one for size comparison?? I wanna see how small they really are!
Are they button sized?

Pictures even with something for scale don't do them justice. You have to see them in person to understand just how tiny they are.

I just have to wait for my eggs I'm incubating to hatch and mature, and then I'll analyze space...
How much space per button quail is needed?

Day 1: eggs have spread out now, have them point-to-point.

Can't wait for day 6 candling!

According to google a quarter is the same size as an Aussie 5c coin..

I've got a 5c coin here with me now, and WOW they are so small!! Now I'm definitely getting them. And I can find them on Hazel's Hatchery!! Didn't know you could get them in Australia!

Button quail?
They're rarely called button quail here, Chinese or King Quail are more common names. You'll have way more success finding them using those names.
