Good luck with your Calls.... Don't be scared to make them 'safety holes'- I only read that most people do this, once it was too late for my little ones (although I still got 1).

So once they internally pip shall I wait abit and then do a safety hole? I have read on here that calls are hard to hatch. Didn't read it until half way through incubation so to late but I'll be happy if I get one to hatch

Ok well I now know my two quail are male and female! Quinn (the male) is chasing sal (the female) around like she's a mealworm! Done abit of research on here and I read it's not good to just have two? Only thing is I have to wait probably another month until my other quail are grown up enough to put them outside with them. Shall I separate them? Or just let them carry on? Don't want sal to get hurt or stressed

Yes, give them a while before helping them- it's always best if they can get out themselves..... I'd suggest that you ask Ravyn Fallen or in the Duck section for advice- it's a delicate balance between leaving it too long, and intervening too early.

I'll ask once they go into lockdown thankyou for the advice. Also as they are shipped shall I put them on their sides or upright? They are upright in the turner atm but I'm not sure with lockdown

For lockdown, just lay them on their sides

I really really hope they hatch for you!!
