You can sleep well knowing that this is probably the MOST spoiled grand-goose you have out there.

DG did it break through the membrane? (not mad, wish I could tell you do X it will fix it) if it can breath, let it rest and try and hatch.

If he can peep he can breathe. Leave him alone for now. I had 2 do fine and 2 I had to help, but they didn't require much help.

Excellent, gotta go google (unless you have a pic to share) what a bobtail quail is.

We have BobWhites we free range here on the property. They were raised from hatching to adulthood in small covey cages and then soft released into an aviary for flight work. Then we opened the aviary door one day and let them roam in and out. Now I can go out and whistle or use the bobwhite call on my phone and they come from all directions to be fed. Not all will come back in at night, but we still have 70% that do return and they sing and stand looking at us almost like demanding to know where their food is.

think they are the same thing
my neighbor is from NC and called them tennese bobtails

DG: You're not a killer. You were just checking on him. But now you're going to leave him alone!
