Big dark spot in air cell. Has this embryo died?

[TheChickenGirl16]

Incubating chicken eggs.
It is day 22. Most of the chicks hatched yesterday. But I haven’t seen any action from this guy, yet.
Notice the weird dark patch in the air cell. Also the dark, detached looking spots inside.
Has this embryo died?

That egg is no longer viable.

Thank you. That’s what I thought.

Since I am now addicted to hatching, I will be doing lots of this in the future. What was the give away?

After 22 days it will be a fully formed chick.
I am addicted to it also, my wife made me quit until after the holidays, I’m getting about 40 quail eggs/day and it’s killing me not to fill my incubators up.

I love quail! I want some Sooooo bad. But my parents said that I can only add one species per year….

40 eggs a day??!! That must be so hard!! Do they taste good?

Very good.
The meat is excellent, the eggs are good scrambled or boiled, I pickled 6 pts

Here’s some we had for breakfast.

No.

No I don’t have any button quail.
I don’t need any more pets, and from what I’m told, that’s the only thing that they are good for.
If there was a market for them, I might try raising them, but for now I’m not.
