Only 1 hatched

[NY Coturnix]

Need some advice. I'm on day 29 and had 1 hatch on day 27. I have 13 that don't seemed to be doing anything. No i didn't candle but I'm not hearing any chirping or seeing anything that is giving me any hope. My question is what to do with the 1 little guy that appears very healthy but is all by himself. My first thought was to get a couple friends for TSC but then I question what to feed them. I have the game bird/turkey starter but I don't know if that would be bad for chicks or not. If they have poults I'll grab a couple but I was in a couple days ago and they didn't have any.

Any advice is appreciated.

I have fed 28% to everyone when I have poults.

Give em time mine all hatched on day 28.5, 29 also read my thread on here about hatching turkeys it may help you out on yours also. 70 to 80% humidity don't drop the temp keep it at 100.

Candle them. Just because you aren't hearing or seeing any outward movement does not mean they aren't alive. Sometimes you get late hatches. I'd hold out for a few more days. Good luck!

Game bird feed is not necessary for chicks but will not hurt them. In my experience chicks do better on the high protein feed.

Thanks everyone. Plan to give them at least a couple more days and thank you for the advice on the food. That was my biggest concern.
