Button Quail Lockdown (no pipping)?

[cuckleberry]

Thank you for the video!! We'll definitely look for that when we candle at 8 p.m tonight. If any happen to externally pip before than, we won't open the incubator and just wait!

We candled again and saw what we think to be 2-3 with movement. I don't think we can do anything else now, but wait.

Alright, so sorry that this thread sorta died. We did open the eggs, and out of all of them, maybe two were fully developed. I do have pictures but I don't want to post it without asking. (I've seen posts with it before so it doesn't bug me, but you never know.)

From the looks of it, one maybe died when it internally pipped? One died before that, one died during week 2, and 2 eggs had little fetus' in them. The rest were yolk (two were white and chunky) and the smell was rotten.

If anyone knows why, or if it just happens because it's life, feedback would help! Our second clutch is expected to arrive the 18th from a new seller. We will be running at 40-45 humidity now and 65-75 hum. at lockdown.

And our little Tater Tot is growing fast!

Tater Tot is so adorable! She's going to be one super tame baby.

There was a thread I briefly read the other day where someone was attempting to hatch shipped chicken eggs and the ones that developed died in the late stages of incubation. It does just seem to happen sometimes with shipped eggs. Going through the post can be rough on them.

Do try again - I can't wait to see some new babies, and some updates on little Tater Tot.

I had that one time as well, I was incubating eggs and only 1 hatched, it was a silver. He became very tamed and eventually my other button quails accepted him. I am currently incubating more button quails 14 have a life inside the egg, hopefully in a few days they will hatch.

Do you have any picture of the 1 button quail?
Here is how our 1st ones hatched, one literally helped another hatch.
