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.

Oh my goodness. Sadness and beauty all the same post. That baby’s head between your fingers is too cute.

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