What day should Bobwhite hatch?

[B. Kossum]

I just hatched some bobwhites myself. They started yesterday morning (Day 23) and were still breaking out at lunch today. I'm starting to wonder if the temps of my incubator were off in one area because none of the eggs in a two row stretch hatched (if that makes sense lol). I'm beginning to give up on the others, but if I were you I would give them a few days still. I'd be getting worried though lol. Good luck!

If this has been done with success, that puts me clueless on what the "envelope" is for hatching quail. I would have to be shown "proven" evidence that such was a success......(success as in "hatched out healthy, and all is well"). And I will go ahead and say I would only hope folks just don't arbitrarily post comments that would lead to false hopes that others could be led to. Again, not calling the poster a "fibber".......... just sounds far-fetched!

Ended up that none hatched. All looked fully developed, but none made it. Very sad. I'm afraid to try again. Seems a little cruel to get them that far and have all die.
