I was just telling DH yesterday that we needed quail and what a great use of my incubator that would be. He was a bit of a debbie downer about it all. "So much work for something so small" or some such thing.

So experiment balut is still on hold.

Congrats on finally getting your quail eggs! How many days do they incubate? Do you have their housing ready? Good luck! You have learned a bazillion things about incubating and hatching in the last month, in sure you will do great!

Yes I built a quail cage from scratch.
I think they take 18 days to hatch.

Thank you!
