You'll be blown away by the speed of the hatch. Once they start, if everything goes right, it should be over in an hour. Ya' gotta' see it to believe it.

My experience is they hatch best when the humidity is at least 70%. Make sure you have plenty of feed, they grow really fast!

I can't believe it's been this long already!! It seems like just last week you were talking about getting some!

Don't give up on them until 3 days after the last one hatches. I had button quail hatch a few weeks ago. Most of them hatched the first day, but they were still hatching out 3 days later.

They key is watchimg every egg. Never take your eye off any of them
or they wont hatch.

Good luck.

We have 6 quail that hatched today.

Good point! And remember, just because the egg looks zipped does not mean the chick is not already out! I was going crazy with my buttons thinking I had a new zipper when the chick was already out and the shell snapped back together!

That is a great point. Quail are OCD. They like to close the egg when
they leave.

Good luck! One day I'll get brave enough to try quail. Buster has me kinda scared to try.
