OK thanks

Like my new avatar?

I do it looks great!

I like how the Quails looking down at them, and how you got the name on too.

I scratched the name on the eggs and they just come up to the edge of the cage because I get them mealworms and they have memorized that they are in the yellow bag so they come up when they see it.
they even fall out of the cage sometimes.

Did you candle at Lockdown?

No I didn't.

Oh, so you may have a bunch of infertile eggs. My quail eggs always hatch on day 17 counting from 0, which is day 18 if you count from 1. So I would suggest wait another 12 hours and if no pips candle them.

Right, I have missed that part any pips yet?

 

[Quail_Kid]

no pips I did see a little movement tho.

No problem!

As long as you've been keeping check on their growth and temp/humidity is alright then I wouldn't worry just yet.

Even day 19 is what I'd still class as a normal hatching day for quail (well, Coturnix at least I'm unsure on Buttons).

You'll probably notice some movement in them tomorrow

16 days for Buttons
24 to 26 days for Bob's, Blues, Gambles, Valleys, and Mountain quail.

Thankyou for letting me know the other hatching days!

I've only ever kept and hatched Coturnix so the other dates were never something I've looked at
