I got up this morning look what I found!

This is our first ever quail baby and our first hatch in the bator in 5 years--I was worried I wouldn't remember how to do this correctly--lol. Now I am hoping that the remaining 26 will surprise me when I get home this afternoon. I'm so excited--I wish I could sit here all day and watch

You will get home this evening and have a whole bator full.
Good Luck!!!

Oh, I hope so. I hear peeping, but that one little chick is LOUD! I am going out the door now so maybe I will be surprised when I return.

I just got home and have four TINY little bobwhites! I didn't remember how much I enjoyed watching eggs hatch. My little boy is soooo excited--he is glued to the bator as we speak

And here they are....

So far we have no signs of pipping from the other 22 eggs but we have our fingers crossed!

So tiny and cute! I signed up for the June egg swap and asked for "other"- hope I get some quail to hatch too!

Congrats on your hatch, to make a LONG story short we bought some bird netting from a guy that raised Bobwhites and Tenn, Reds and when we picked it up he had just put 500 3 day olds in a pen and my wife said OH AREN"T THOSE CUTE , that was last Augst and we now have over 1200 of the cute things.
June egg swap what is this I just got started on BYC so I am proably to late for this.

I wish I could sign up, but the only thing I have laying are my mixed ducks--and they are sitting on 14-20 eggs right now. Just checked--I've got 2 more quail babies. Total of 6 so far!!
