a baby bird has emerged! No defects that I can see, I’m letting her dry off under the heat lamp in the brooder

Congrats! I hope all goes well!

Hi guys!
So because of lockdown here I don’t have anything else to do than...incubating an egg in my bra
I tried this spring, but all the eggs I tried with were infertile. Now, I know it is fertilized!
It’s a quail egg, I got my first blue one so I wanted to incubate it just for fun. I do have an incubator, but it’s just an experiment I want to do during lockdown/quarantine.
The egg is there for now almost 48h.Should hatch on January 24th-25th.
Will keep you guys updated! I candle it to see if he’s alive Sunday! Yay!!

How did the bra incubating go?!
I have two hens on two nests and very staggered mix of eggs
Need to do something in another few days when both leave and there will be viable ones still unhatched, including ducks!

Don’t judge my technique too bad, I was pretty sure I was performing an eggtopsy!! Baby was early in day 21 of 18, no visible internal pip, no visible movement, so I decided to take a peek. Either she was dead or she was late enough that she might need a hand. So I opened up the air cell, still no movement, opened it a bit more and suddenly a beak! Here’s the result of my careful eggtopsy:

I covered the part that wasn’t her beak in some bacitracin to keep it from drying out and popped her back in her bra. I hope I didn’t mess up too badly, but I’m pretty sure she was tiring out before I opened her up so maybe I helped??? Hopefully I just didn’t do too much harm to the second bracubator titty bird

All things considered they look pretty good. I hope it works out!
