Ended Official 2020 BYC Halloween Hatch-Along

[Allthefloofs]

THIRTY SEVEN out of 40!!!!!! There were three stuck in their shells. One may have been totally fine and just the last to hatch, but one was certainly stuck had zipped mostly and had dry feathers poking out of the shell. Here he is!

I get more scared of them jumping out of my hand and committing suicide! Button quail are a lot flightier than coturnix.
