all who are hatching quail

Could just be a birth defect. If it is eating and drinking, leave it. If it isn't might be best to euthanise it.

Yellow stuff? What colour is your feed?

This chick's neck looks broken and bent what should u do?

i would just leave it alone. As long as it can eat and drink. it may straighten over time. I had one that hatched from a smaller egg. Took about two weeks for it's neck to straighten

I have a 3 day old right now with the exact same neck twist....I have heard them called star gazers. If it is ok for a while and he stays healthy I will eventually butcher it

Today is day 17 of my first time hatching and there is nothing yet so I'm getting pretty nervous. Can someone with a lot of experience hatching coturnix tell me what the humidity is supposed to be at?? I've seen so many different variations. The recommendation from the coturnix basics page here on byc says 40% the whole time except for the last few days when it should be up to 60%. That is what I have it at now.

Sometimes it can take up to 19-20 days. My last batch hatched at 19 days. (When I was away, so my kids got to care for them while I was away! The texts I got were very amusing.

Give them a few more days. I'll keep my fingers crossed that you get a good hatch.

Thanks, I'll try and chill out and not go look at them every 5 minutes

Good luck with that, im amazed I got anything done this weekend with how often I was peering into the windows of my incubator waiting for SOMETHING to happen. So far nothing /sigh

Just set 120 eggs from my quail. I Hope time goes fast. Can't wait for them to hatch

Is it a run of all colors again or are any specific? The randomness of the last hatch was fun!
