Think its time to pull the plug on the button quail?

[hypnofrogstevie]

Yeah. I found 2 dead that pipped. I tired to save one that pipped but I dotn think he will make it.

Oh no!! That is so sad...

At least you got most of them to hatch right?

 

[hypnofrogstevie]

Pretty close. I am not going to give up hatching these cuties though. Next year will be fun

. I am just sad that I could have a few more sweethearts to add to the gang and I let them down

 

[shelleyd2008]

Well, it still beats my '1', I still don't have the $$ to get more eggs from marie!

 

[hypnofrogstevie]

I kinda feel a bit better when I thought to myself. It was better that way then thrown into the garbage never knowing if it was still alive or not.

 

[DragunzGirl]

hmmm well its 2 days after my hatch date, im thinking of peeping the last of the eggs to see if there alive. I dought they are.

 

[hypnofrogstevie]

Please be careful not to tear the membrane.

 

[DragunzGirl]

ya.. well i do know i have 3 eggs that had peep holes showing beaks but none are makine noise or moving at all. They been that way for a day now.

 

[hypnofrogstevie]

Carefully move the shell off the membrane. If it starts to bleed then wrap a warm dishtowl around the egg and wait an hour then try again.

I only have 1 egg left in the bator and I hope she makes it.

Shelley,

Next year I will send you some eggs after I test out fertility
