I ended up with four Coturnix (I think one is a white Texas pharaoh since the person who sent them to me has some of those), and five bobwhites. I had to help the last two out (one of each type) because they had been partly zipped for more than 24 hours, maybe closer to two days, where still alike in there, but had gotten stuck to the membrane and couldn't finish zipping. They've been out for more than an hour and seem to be doing okay, other than their curled toes. If the toes are still like that when i get home from work tonight I'll put boots on them, but I hope they straighten out on their own. I figured they wouldn't have made it if I didn't help, so if they still don't at least they won't die curled up in that tiny egg.

Two other eggs partly zipped, but the chicks died in the eggs and three didn't hatch. I'm pretty happy with my nine babies though. They were all shipped eggs and I had 42 mailed to me and 24 in good enough shape to put in the bator.
