today is day 28 no hatch from my button quail hen she is such a devoted mother, she is on them all the time exepet for 1 time a day she get off the nest to eat and drink for abought 2 minutes. most the eggs I have cracked open have been fertile, she is only sitting on 4. and I see her turn them 3 times a day! what went wrong??? any suggestions so this does not happen again???

I am BROKEN HEARTED!!! I have to take her eggs Away, and I don't want her to see me as the mean creature who took her eggs away

I LOVE them so Much, but I can't let her waist her life on dead eggs

I am soo sad one of the other pairs I gave to my neighbor hatched out 8 with ease and then tried to kill them all. I feel like it is sooo unfair that bad mother can hatch but not my devoted little Hen

if you have any suggestions they would be appreciated

Can you get her some baby quails and stick them under her in the night?

Edit: this is what I've done for broody hens, I don't know if it would work for quails.

it would work, exept the fact that I am the only quail breeder in Washington state. Thanks though.

You're welcome.

Is it quails... or quail for the plural form of quail?

Thanks for responding to my post!

I don't know LOL! I always just say quails

 

[theuglychick]

Me too, neither looked right to me. I guess I COULD google it, but I'm feeling kinda lazy. Surely someone will enlighten us!

Could you give her bantam chicks to brood? Do quails do that sort of thing?!

she is way to small! she is only a tiny bit bigger than a newborn banty chick!
