button quail sitting on and off

[burny]

Hi my button quail went broody yesterday and I went to collect the eggs. And (by mistake) scared her off the nest, She had laid 8 eggs and is a very scared quail and the rest of the day she did not sit on them and then the next day she is sitting on them if she dose not stop goning broody and keeps on siting on her eggs will the eggs still hatch .Thankyou

Yes, if they are fertile they should still hatch.

If she keeps getting off the nest all day, then put the eggs in an incubator. If she is truly broody she will stay on the nest constantly.

she will sit and leave until the entire clutch has been laid. Up to 9-10 days so just give her some room and leave her be for 7 days at least. If you want to incubate then the eggs should be removed daily so she wont get broody. good luck
