Just hatched my first QUAIL!!!

[My Little Sister's Farm]

We just finished our first hatch from 36 eggs we had 35 fertile. 2 were blood rings on d7 so they were removed with the clearly clear egg. Of the 33, 30 hatched and we have 27 strong buggers 2 days later. (2 died and 1 was culled for deformity). I can't believe how slippery these little suckers are. And how CUTE!!! I posted a video of one hatching on my facebook page. Check it out with the link in my footer.

Hey, congratulations on your first quail hatch!

Sounds to me like you got a good hatch rate. What species of quail are they, and where are the pics.?

Edit: oops, I found them.

haha, i bet. i'm so amazed at how fast they are growing. only 1 week later and some of them have completely changed their feathers. They really do grow up quick.
