First time! (New Member, "A&M" from shipped eggs)

[ARBirdCurious]

So I joined recently. I'm trying some ebay "A&M" eggs. Mainly was doing this as a test run for other potential future incubations.

This evening will be the true beginning of day 17, but I just happened to check right as this one was coming out.

I imagine getting them out is just the beginning of the battle, but hopefully I'll have some survive!

Well, another one is out now and a third is zipped.... So maybe I'll luck out.

I hope more hatch for you! How long are quail supposed to take?

I think like 14-16 days, if I remember right

These are coturnix... I think 17 days is the norm? Some individuals up to 20?

I guess now the real work starts.

EDIT: And for clarity, I'm not touching them or messing with them for now... Just going to let them hang out in the incubator a bit before going to the brooder.

Welcome!
I hope you enjoy your time here!

The quail hatching is so exciting! Keep us posted!

17-18 days for coturnix.

Ditto, 18 days. But there are always some overachievers who hatch early and some slow pokes who hatch 2 days late!
Congrats! Quail are fun birds.
