***SEPTEMBER HATCH-A-LONG come join in***

Well Ive got 2 broody button quail hens now! Yay!
Miss 'Stubs' is sitting on 11 eggs, and Miss 'Silver Flash' is on 6 possibly 7 eggs. These are both 1st time broody's so hopefully all goes well.
Due dates are the 17th and then the 25th.
I try not to incubate any of my eggs, i let everything happen naturally so hatches around here are a little more spaced out than if i cranked up the old 'bator lol but that means i tend to get extra excited about new hatches!
Cant wait!

I am down to 33 out of 45 eggs. 10 days left to go, and the rest of the eggs look so strong and healthy. I just LOVE watching the embryos swimming around. I know right now they must look like little alien blobs in there, but I love them just the same!
 
25 eggs not one chirp, chip, cheep or even rockin egg! (TOmorrow is hatch day!
