I put a grocery bag on the wire around the feeder to catch any waste.

I also cover the floor completely for the first week or two while their feet grow.

There is a dustbowl in the Juvie pen now too.

Anyone not have their coturnix quail eggs hatch by day 18? It's the 18th day and my first time and they've shown no signs of hatching

They were all looking great before they went into lock down I culled one that had never developed at all.I've even seen tiny movements from different ones the past day or two. I'm curious what the exact days are that everyone's have hatched and if I can still have hope for them
