Here's a picture of a full grown chukar, granny. They're fat little things.

And its eggs...

 

[Starkasm]

How cute! They must be soo tiny.

I don't know can barely see the beaks on two!! I didn't have much hope for these. Some were broken some upon later inspection had cracks. And to candle them... I gave up til lock down and if it was clear I knew it wasn't good and if it wasn't clear....there could be something in there - this morning I could only say there for sure there was one moving inside the one egg. But now I have pipping and some shaking rocking ones. I have never hatched quail before!!!!

 

[Cheyen]

I'd probably be just as nervous hatching quail as I am with these darn things, lol.

 

[Granny Hatchet]

oh, those are beautiful birds. and the eggs do look like guineas just size difference i guess which is hard to tell in a pic.

if they dont hatch are you going to open them to see what they were?

 

[Cheyen]

I'll open them if they don't hatch... hopefully they do.

The quail eggs are so freakin tiny though. My sister stole a chukar baby from me and fretted for about two weeks, cause it was so small. When she saw the quail eggs she said she wouldn't even dare!!

I'll open them if they don't hatch... hopefully they do.

They are going to hatch!!!

 

[Cheyen]

Haha, I don't blame her starkasm.
