HELP!!!!!!

Can't say I know the least bit on quails...but good luck anyway!

You are better off leaving them completely alone. What type of quail are they from anyway? Each type of quail has different requirements in the incubator. And if you are only going to take them to a bird rescue facility, they are already bursting at the seams and do not need and wild quail.

Leave them alone.

I think if I left them alone hey really would die..I have been really wanting to hatch eggs anyway. Where I found them there is no longer an kind of nest or protection..:/

This is what I am getting at. Leave them be. Have you ever kept quail before? They require a lot more than chickens. They are not cuddly or come running for treats, will not get in your lap ect...

They are just eggs at this point. Let nature takes it's course. And if you are hatching them only to take them to some bird rescue facility, do you think they would appreciate you hatching them just to drop them off there?

You can't go hatching wild bird eggs just because you find some outside in your yard unless you have knowledge of the subject. Sorry to sound so harsh.

I know a person who wants them when I'm done hatching them. I think it's all good.

I can completely understand your wanting help...
With wild birds eggs in your incubator you chance to bring a myriad of diseases into your environment. The other thing is when you take eggs from nature and raise them, regardless if give them to someone else (unless it's a rehabilitor) is illegal. It's called "Harboring State's Wildlife"

Please check with your State's Wildlife and Conservation Dept to check your local laws. That call could keep you out of trouble and heavy fines...

It is hard to just let nature take it's course and it is our nature to want to help, but I have to agree with twocrowsranch on this one, so sorry.

Good luck with whatever you decide.

X2 on the illegal issues. Are you positive it was even a quail? Many wild birds are ground nesters and should you hatch something that requires hand/syringe feeding, you may only kill it in the process.

I looked up gamblers quail eggs and it looked exactly identical
