I have 25 Bob white eggs most pipped on day 20 and early day 21 today is day 22. Most of the eggs are rocking around in the bator and we hear some peeping.
Is it normal for them to be pipped for 2 or 3 days and not hatch?

Aww, they're adorable. Sorry you had such a bad hatch.

Yeah. Thanks. Oh well, not like I needed more chickens anyway.

Get that poor beast a jack, before her belly starts dragging the ground.

Banty I don't think I ever told you how my hatch went. Horrible though I guess it could've been worse. I got three out of 18. Seven went into lockdown, three hatched three were malpositions and one had brains hanging out. .

Anyway here's the cutie pies.

I don't think she's in danger of that.

I'm not familiar with bobwhites, but in general, it's not normal. Anyone else got any input on this?

@DwayneNLiz could! She have them.

She has coturnix.

She has coturnix.

The care of Bobwhite & Coturnix is the same, except on the Bobwhite you need to bleach the white once a month.
