One's alive !!!!

[Chickiechick]

I'm so excited I can hardly stand it.
My first batch of button quail are due anytime and impossable as they are to candle two have shown me a dark 'blob' and a clear air cell.
Well just now I clearly saw a head & beak moving in one air cell

That's it, no more candling attempts. Incubator staying closed now until I need to place chicks in the brooder

( citalk2much - this is from the batch I bought from you

)

No pippage yet

Waiting is driving me insane. Knowing one is alive is too exciting. It was amazing seeing that little head & beak in the air cell.
Managed to distract myself for a while by setting up the 'button brooder' , but now I have an empty brooder to stare at and an incubator I have to stay out of

Come-on quailies !!!!!

I set them very late in the evening on May 21st. So day 16 1/2 or 17 depending on how you work out the timing I guess

Awwww come on babies get out of those eggs

Have you seen any rocking?

Not seen any rocking but it's an ancient hovabator (15yrs or more)with tiny windows so not that good for decent viewing.
Just have to be patient . They'll arrive when they are ready ( hope it's soon

)
