That sounds wonderful - but on the other side of the country for me. Perhaps the East coast folks should consider something similar!

I need to move mine in so they start laying. Meant to a few weeks ago and just never did it. I usually keep them in the garage over winter. They are still outdoors in a shed, next to the window but they need more light!.

Never heard of a coturnix going that late and living. Are you certain these weren't bobwhite eggs?

If these were coturnix eggs then your stock and or incubator are bad. Not trying to add insult to injury but that is pretty much unheard of. Most chicks that hatch more than a a couple days late are going to be deformed or doomed for an early death
