yeah there pretty easy to grow but if the mom raises them its even better but if she gets off of them two early just leave her don't try to get her back on them if she wants to she will other then that she might leave that chick two that she has left with and there very friendly when there first hatched they will go under your hand for heat but after a week they will try to fly out away from you

If that happens should I pull the remaining eggs or leave them..If so how long? They haven't sat yet. I saw dad in there for a few seconds her and there sitting. They have really built the nest up so I can't see if she is still laying. she laid one out side the nest the other day. They have been moving that one about the enclosure.

if she leaves the only thing you can do is put the eggs in the incubator if u don't have one then your chances of them living is very slim

Quail eggs are best viable 5-7 days, after that the chances of hatching are much lower if incubated

Looks like she quit laying @#13 That was on monday. In and out nest area not any steady sitting. Just a bit now and then by both.

she might sit when she's ready just don't bug her or the eggs

yes, I was told about 16 days. Will watch and hope, If they do not hatch then. Will it be ok to leave them for a while longer(if so how long before they go bad rotten) to discourage her from laying and give her a break.
