Okay everyone, you all need to let me know how many hatched! So far, @Kiki is the only one reporting hatch numbers. Thanks @Kiki!

I only had 16 hatch. One died during the night. So far, that gives me only 15 quail. More may hatch in another day. But only time will tell. I think half my eggs were not fertile.

I'm just holding off, as I didn't want to confuse the numbers. Day 28/21 is actually tomorrow for me, so we're still waiting. But I DID have 4 (3 ducklings/1 chick) that were overachievers... I put them in lockdown on Wednesday afternoon, and after I got them all out of the turner, I noticed I had two already externally pipped! They hatched later Wednesday evening, and then they had a flock mate hatch last night... the early birds got the zoomies and ran the newcomer over several times! Tonight, the chick hatched, 1 day early, and the ducklings were picking on it! So, it was time for the ducklings to come out, they're in their brooder, and the chick is now asleep, resting its head over the other chick eggs underneath the fan. I felt if I didn't get the ducklings out, I'd have a dead Cream Legbar chick in the morning. So, we still have 5 duck eggs, and 9 chicks due to hatch tomorrow. So, we're still sitting on our hands, and praying.

I thought all my chicks were leghorn crosses but I found out there is some Ayam Cemani blood in this chick! It’s the odd one out. So interesting.

I completed lockdown this morning at day 15.5. 29 went into lockdown with 2 probable quitters. I did it very quickly because i saw a couple possibly pipped. i lowered the temperature a bit this round as I had too many early hatchers on halloween.
