[mskackle]

I have eggs in the bator supposed to hatch on day 23 was going on lockdown today. Surprise, when i got up this morning had one quail already hatched in the turner. Moved the turner now we have 5 hatched. They are so tiny and cute!!!! Eggs are moving so we will have more. I looked last night and I saw no movement. We are so excited!!!!

What kind of quail are they? I have my first batch (Pharaoh) in an incubator. They're supposed to hatch next Sunday. It's going to be a long week...

Oh, and CONGRATULATIONS!

The last 3 quail that hatched sunday night are not as steady on their legs as the ones that hatched Monday night. I have been dipping their beak in water with probiotics to make them stronger. They have started dipping their beak when i hold them up to water. One has started pecking a little trying to eat. them seem pretty strong when they chirp they just havetrouble standing. Any advice on what I should do?
