Help talk me into quail (for meat)

[DemeterAD9]

Little progress through the night. 5 pips now and one seems to be trying to zip. Blue one has not yet pipped unless it’s on the other side.

First one to hatch! It zipped and popped out in short manner as I didn’t even see the zipping on this one.

Was getting ready for bed and this one appeared when I was done. Appears to be all yellow down which is interesting.

I might move the chicks into a separate bowl so they don’t disturb the other eggs too much.

I’ll have to be content with 5 chicks. 3 hatched on their own and the 2 that pipped at the wrong end need a little help so of course I gave them a hand, just enough so they can kick themselves out. They all seem pretty normal so far but I’ll leave them all in the incubator till the last one dries off.

It looks like the blue egg died some days ago. Tiny feet and lots of yolk.

And some of the shells, you can see which one I had to help.

Baby photos is a few hours, when I move them to the brooder. I think 2 were blonde and the other 3 were the expected brown stripes color.

If the yellow ones don't develop any markings, they will be white.
