Pippypoo doesn't like it out here...

So, that's two out of four due today. The first one is a black mottle, the second is a blue mottle (yay!)
Two more are pipping, and then another two are due between tomorrow and thursday, and then another six are due on the 11th. The valley quail are due to hatch anywhere within that timeframe. Whoo!

I'm feeling that you have a few more that are just a bit shy, the veins will hopefully start popping out in another day or so. Do the yolks look just round, or do they look kinda spread out? Sorry, still kinda freakin' out about it.

I love hatching coturnix eggs, they are so adorable, and they just pop out of their shells like little cannons! Well, mine do anyways. When I check on them they'll have just a little pip, and then five minutes later I come back and they're already out of the shell.

What kind(s) of chicken eggs?

I really want to get some button eggs soon-lucky!
 
Lucky, I still have to wait another day or two.
All girls...that would be a dream come true, but alas
