Hi,
I am hatching out bobwhite quail for the first time and I made what I am hoping is not a fatal error: I continued turning the eggs (there's an automatic turner in our incubator) up 'til day 22. Is there a chance some of our quail will still hatch out? Two seemed to start pecking out yesterday, but no action since, so I'm afraid they didn't make it :(

Today is day 23 and when we candled them a week or so ago, we probably had about 15 (out of 25) that appeared to be developing. And, on a separate note, if we DO get any quail, does anyone have any suggestions for what kind of feed to put in the brooder?
Thanks!
 
I have done same thing forgot to take them out of the turner. I still had some hatch it might of affected a couple from hatching.

I used gamebird starter feed or turkey starter for my quail.
