Also it’s feet seem to be kinda curled... is it because she recently(assuming it’s gender) was born... or do I have to put a bootie on her?

give nutri-drench if it stays curled.

Most times, their feet uncurl on their own after a day or so (giving them vitamins in their water can help). That waterer will work, as long as you fill it just to the top of the rocks so they can get a good mouthful without getting soaked. Good luck!

5 cotournix quails have hatched out of 13... the remaining 8 are peeping and wiggling.... ladies and gentlemen I think I might have gotten 100% hatch rate on shipped eggs in my first time... score also I’ll post a picture of my button quails too!! Tomorrow is lockdown day!(commander Cody is keeping an eye on them)

Quick question!!!! The egg shells do I take them out? Some of the chicks look pretty semi dry but I’m afraid of opening the incubator and it will kill them or are the quail more strong than they look?

When do I put them in my homedame brooder? I see some of them standing and pretty dry... some of the other still look dry but moist? Any experience?
