Button Quail Hatch-a-long! Small/Tiny Things

It sounds like the person you got them from didn't handle them well. I wouldn't get eggs from them again.

Definitely not, it's why I'm asking for suggestions on where to order some.

I got mine from Fat Hen Farms, but I think you need to subscribe to their TikTok to know when he has eggs available. I didn't actually order them, my friend did.

Anyone want to take a guess as to how many will hatch?

I’m thinking 3 or 4.

Tonight at 9 pm marks the beginning of day 14, lockdown.

We're out of town today for a memorial service, don't know when we'll be home, it's in the neighboring state. Not sure I'll be up to candling after that, we'll see.

How many eggs look like they’ll make it to lockdown?

Not sure yet. I removed 6 the other day. I'll try to candle some later maybe, we just got home.

They are in lockdown. I just did a really quick candle, removed a few more, and here are the ones that are left.

1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 10,
13, 14, 17, 22, 24

#22 - looks like I see a pip hole and zipping, but on the smaller end. That's the one that I said was absolutely covered in cracks, so I don't know.

#22 - no change, don't see movement.
