My First Quail Have Started Hatching!!! (pic Heavy)

[Chiko]

Finally! My first batch of 11 Coturnix Quail eggs started hatching this morning! I'm so excited and got some pictures here to show everyone! Enjoy!!!

At about 5:00 am (utah time) when I first discovered them!

Heres my first 4. I have a few more pipping now though!!

I honestly freaked out when I saw how tiny and fragile they were!

heres a bad closeup shot.

They're first time in the brooder. look how tiny!!!

lol! All three of them together are about the size of a bantam chick!!! lol hope you enjoyed it! I'll be sure to post more pictures as they grow up!

Great first hatch

Yeah, the tiny size does freak you out at first but they grow so darn fast it isn't an issue for long!

It is some kind of addicting aint it!!! I have 5 dozen coturnix in the hatcher due sunday, and just set 6 dozen chukars yesterday... I think once a bator is warmed up, its a shame to let it cool off... Bill

We processed at 9 weeks.

Of course they're small, they have to fit in those eggs.
