Ended Halloween Hatch-A-Long 2018

I need to look again from a bigger monitor, but from my phone, I’d say those don’t look good for day 10.

We have one little Society finch chick (which suits me just fine). Another had started unzipping but the membrane had dried over its nostrils by the looks of it. Not sure if there are any more eggs that will hatch but this one baby will have all its aunties and uncles fussing over it and it's going to be the fattest little podge you've ever seen. We may have a dove chick by tomorrow as well.

Such tiny little thing I am so impressed

On a separate note I told the egg had broke no development at all we are unable to see into the eggs just not working what I am concerned about has my boy become limp?

I had a bit of a disaster with my quail eggs. The male, who was parent raised so should be the perfect father, went nutty and killed three babies. I rescued the other eggs and hatched 3 of them. This morning I went down and the male was behaving very strangely again - then I heard a baby peeping! The older hen was protecting it. I whipped the baby out and took it back to the house to put in with the other 3 chicks, then I went and got the hen to see if she'd adopt all 4. She's been helping to raise chicks since she herself was still a chick and she accepted them no problem. She's amazing! So I am very happy that she'll do all the hard work of raising them.

There are 2 Caramel chicks and 2 Dilute chicks (not sure what else to call that colour - it's the wild colours and patterns just lighter - very pretty). My two favourite colours.

Jae, your babies are amazingly tiny! It's funny how the quail look big compared to the Society finch I'd be afraid to handle anything that small!

@Farmer Connie been meaning to tell you...I like how you're pointing new members to the Halloween HAL and HAL contests. Good job!
