Got new babies today! I'm happy to report that almost every egg that developed - hatched and survived as little chicks! There were two that developed into crossbeaks - 1 died in the shell, was only partially developed, at day 10. The other crossbeak needed help hatching, then I saw that it was a crossbeak and had to cull. The remaining 9 are healthy, eating, drinking, mowing each other over and taking lots of naps! Any help in what colors these are would be great! There are 5 Buttons and 4 Jumbo Coturnix.
Here's a little one coming out of the shell - she was really weak, and only managed to zip - so I popped off the top for her (after several hours) to make sure she could breathe.
Here she finally got her head out and could breathe easier. I just took her out to take a quick picture and put her back in the incubator.
Here she is all hatched and fluffed up. She's a little runt - but she's beautiful - I love her color and she's really sweet.
4 Jumbo Coturnix chicks in the hand is better than 10 shipped Jumbo Coturnix eggs...
