We're pipping!

So far, 4 or 5 of my 23 Coturnix eggs have pipped tonight (they're due tomorrow)! I love, love, love hatching Coturnix! Compared to chicken eggs, they're a BREEZE!!

When I went back in at 12:30 AM and checked, I had one chick already out. By the time I went to bed at 2:00 AM, I had another out and one more almost completely zipped. Just checked again and now have 10 out and more pipping and zipping! I also have one of five Dominique eggs (in a different 'bator and due tomorrow) pipped! Seems to be a whole lotta' hatchin' goin' on!

That's one of the neat things about Quail....
It seems they all pop around the same time.
I think the first one out calls the others to join it... lol

I have read that IS indeed the case actually

Mine dont always hatch like popcorn but when they do it is halarious

What is the longest time frame you've seen them hatch in? For example, my first hatched at 12:15 AM or so this morning, and I still have a few more eggs rocking. I did find one chick dead in the egg after pipping

Should I be worried about the rest, or might they just be slower than the others?

I have had hatches take 3 days
