all who are hatching quail

I have three chicks so far from 8 eggs. See my electric skillet thread, dont want to fill up this thread with it.
But i am nervous two in the bator are pipped. One for 24hrs now and the other longer than that. /: i dont want to help and kill them but i would rather help and give em a chance than none ):

None are wiggling at all that i can tell. Its day 20 or 21...
 
Nice.

i might be getting two more wild chicks someone saved from a cat but they are a 3 hour drive from here so i don't know. Can't really afford the gas.
Oh yikes....cant really ship them either....Supposedly someone is supposed to call me soon to get some more quail....they found a wild one as well...But I am going to talk to them about it......I dont think beginners should have valley chicks....so I might swap them for coturnix

Hi all those "other poultry owners" (no chicken) think about posting some more articles on the other poultry article contest!!!

While turning my eggs last night I found two that had cracks, took them out. I had my neighbor turn them for me while we were away for a few days, maybe something happened there. Either way, down to 38 in that first set. It's only been a week for them. Put 9 more eggs in for next set, hoping to eventually have a dozen or so hatching every week. The heat must really have an impact on them though, I have had only 1 or 2 eggs laid in the last 4 days. I am loving my new "hobby". :)
 
Oh BTW for those interested I have a batch of JB's in the electric hen. 28 err 27 I broke one.
