two questions

[mandisdad]

#2 is out...not sure it will make it...was a rough hatch. It struggled for a long time. A bit of red blood was by its belly when it finally pushed out. It is resting ... not a lot of movement like the other one. I am hoping it is just exhausted and will be okay. Time will tell.

Okay 2 down...42 to go. lol.

Hello (again).

THought I would give an update...I have five perfect little chicks

and two more on the way. #2 did make it and is thriving...I think he must have exhausted himself hatching and that's why he looked so bad right after hatch.

I am hoping to see a lot more hatch today.

Thanks for all who offered friendly words of advice...this is a GREAT forum!!

Wow! I only have 1 Bobwhite egg in this batch I hope I get lucky with it!

I really do hope a bunch more hatch out for you in the next 24 hours. How about a few pics? Good luck and welcome to the Quail forum.

 

[mandisdad]

I will take some pictures.

I have seven great little chicks. No piping on any of the other eggs

. Is there a chance that others may hatch? Today is day 24. We have 7 classroom housing quails...I was hoping to at least have two quails per room.

Hoping for the best...send positive vibes my way please!

Keep the incubator running for a couple of days. This is only day 24 and Bobs can hatch as late as day 26.

Thanks TwoCrows.

Last year I had 52 eggs...48 hatched within 24 hours of each other. It has been colder here on Long Island..wondering if that has something to do with it.

FINGERS CROSSED!!

So great that you are a teacher doing this with your students. Such a wonderful learning experience. I really hope more hatch for you.
