HELP - Using egg carton method to hatch quail - is this a mistake?

[Cherlyn]

First quail has pipped, directly at the top of the egg.

Mistake, or all good?

Edited to add that several are rocking, so if anyone can answer, I would appreciate it.

Anyone? A few have pipped and almost all are rocking, so time is of the essence.

I've never tried it, but it sounds good. Just concerned about zipping?

It's all I use... just don't be surprised if they pip, then take 2-3 days to zip.

Occasionally a chick will pip and die, but they will do that whether they're in a carton or not. Good luck!!

Yeah, some have pipped, but then nothing. I am getting impatient, but I know they will come out when they are ready.

YAY that they are pipping!!!

 

[Mrs MIA]

What breed of quail?

 

[Cherlyn]

Coturnix and button.

No progress yet - here is hoping that we wake up to lots of little fuzzies!
