The coturnix are zipping. 3 hatched so far. I always enjoy the quail hatch. They start of slow,then they start "popping"

That was my experience hatching D'uccle. Once in lockdown... instant gratification .

Just discovered the incubator with the bobwhites was unplugged. I'm so upset!!! Plugged it back in but I don't have a clue how long it was unplugged

Eggs were cold as ice

It makes me sick. I was looking forward to bobwhites calling.

This is great to hear. Some folks had me scared off of quail because of lack of chick robustness (?). But I think I'm getting braver now that I have a couple of chicken hatches under my belt!
