Right on time, the first quail chick just blasted her way out of the shell. Amazing, took about an hour. I was cheering her on and peeping for her. There are 3 more eggs pipped, and some that I'm not sure are viable.
I'm a little worried as she doesn't seem to have popped up on her legs, but instead rolled around and knocked all the other eggs around until she got tired. She's trying to stand, and seems to be making progress getting those muscles to work, but in the meantime is about to knock those other babies right out of their shells..
Is that normal? Should I separate her?
Uh oh DS is home and missed the hatching. BBL!!
