Alphabet themed quail hatch-along. Day 1

We had a short powercut bc of the storm at the weekend. I wrapped the incubator up in a space blanket with hot water bottles either side until the power came back on. Eggies are on day 12. Temp and humidity are consistent. I'm a wee bit concerned about the turner though. I'll need to get a closer look at how well it turns the eggs.

The 3 previous hatchlings are doing really well. Next week (probably) they will go out with the adults (in a protective bubble).

I wasn't feeling well last night so I had a long lay this morning. I've just come down for my medication and saw a blurry blob (no glasses on atm) but I can see a gorgeous little dark chick in the incubator. We have our first hatch!!!

I'm going to get some coffee, find my glasses and investigate. The chick still looks quite wet so I assume the hatch was after my son checked on them at 8am. How exciting!!
 
The brown chick was born first, followed by the blonde one. No foot issues from what I can tell so far.
