So how many total eggs did you start with?

19.
3 clears.
1 early first few days quitter
1 8-10 day quitter.
1 day last minute quitter...I think

7 quails
5 externals
1 internal

Congrats on the babies! I had to read a quite a few posts to get caught up. Looks like you have a bunch of the traditional pharoah color so far and one tuxedo. So cute!
Be careful holding them once they start being more active, they won't hold still like chicken chicks, they will literally run out of your hands. If you put your hand in the brooder with fingertips touching the floor they usually will run underneath and snuggle up into your hand.

I'm really counting these 5 externals to hatch.
The other one...not counting so much yet.

The only time I have held them was to move them out of the bator.
They are too small...I'm scared to barely touch them with one finger.
No holding going on.

Nice, especially for shipped eggs

Nice, especially for shipped eggs

Let's just say had I known that shipped eggs would have done this good for me sooner I would have grown quail already.

I was extremely nervous about getting shipped eggs.
I will probably not get them from any other place but where I got them because it is what I know now.
