Ok, I think this pipper is letting me know he is about to be a zipper

Wow, I said this as a joke because he made a Z shape but 22 minutes later and he is almost done zipping!

They are not dead until they are warm and dead. Cold and dead can recover

Don't we all do that?

I played YouTube videos of broody hens, it's too quiet while I'm at work and all they can hear is the fan.

I’m really glad it made it so far as it’s one of two that look the same. The other 5 look like each other as well. I know the breed isn’t supposed to be sex linked but if I end up with 2 roosters or 2 hens I’ll know what to look for when I have some of mine own to hatch. NY hal here we come.

I HAVE MY FIRST PIP EVER!!!! Looks like its from the wrong end.....

Congrats! It may still hatch fine on it's own. I've had wrong way pippers hatch fine.

Just reporting that I have 11 Button quail chicks and my hatch is done. They are so cute!

Here's a funny photo: don't worry - baby wasn't dead (just being a crazy quail baby):

One of my eggs has been zipped about an inch for the last 12ish hours. I can see it breathing but it hasn't moved. Do you think it will finish on its own?
