3 pips! one pipped the wrong end i can see movement in one other egg, no sign of life in the rest though

Now I pray to have at least one male and one female...

Congrats! I hope the one that pipped on the wrong end will make it

I believe it’s one male to 4 females... but don’t quote me on that. I didn’t really look into it as I didn’t plan on keeping more than one...

I never owned quail (and I'm not planning on) but a friend hatched quail and ended up with a male. He kept it in with the females but had to seperate it from the others because it attacked (or whatever) the females really badly. He said that they have a different way of mating and he's not sure how the breeders do it so he let him free (something probably killed it).

I have to say, for eggs that were shipped over 2 very hot days and with 14 saddled aircells, I’m actually very impressed by the hatch rate

Here they all are! They are much livelier than day old chicks for sure. Some started eating within hours of hatching.

I got a pretty big variety of colors... I’ll probably post on the quail forum eventually to see what they would look like as adults.

Is this one going to be black when it is fluffed up or really dark brown?

i don’t know how to describe this color, ahaha
