Nothing cuter than a freshly hatched quail baby!

Thank you! and yes they are ADORABLE!! Well its day 18 and out of the 20 eggs, that I purchased on ebay, 9 hatched! Not bad since the weather was pretty chilly when they shipped to me in Michigan & I only was able to fit 12 of the eggs on auto turn, and I still am going to wait another 48 hours for any late hatchers… I even got a surprise baby! The second to last one must be a Texas A&M because he is all yellow with a brown spot on the top of his head. I will continue to post more pictures as soon as I can.

That's awesome! Congrats!!

That last one is probably British White (often confused for A&M). They'll pop up occasionally in any breeding. They're my favorite--I love the little brown spots against the white background. So adorable!

Good to know! Thanks for the info. He/she is my favorite(probably because it is the only one that I can tell apart from the rest lol).

The babies at 9-10 days old… and flying out of their cage whenever i open the lid!! All 8 that survived hatching are still doing great
