All baby birds are irresistible! I used to love hand feeding some of my pet birds (Gouldian and shafttail finches and canaries)

Bye the way is that a Kebbonix incubator? I hatched my button quail in one.

Baby 2!

Well, and there are three now, and I literally cannot tell which one is gonna go next! Usually, you can see signs of Pipping at least when I have hatched larger eggs, these just kind of suddenly pop out like popcorn!

I do have a question. The oldest one seems like its toes are really turned in funny like curled to the inside, as if it is walking on the outside of its foot. Is that something I should worry about because the second one looks more normal already and it’s not even fully dry yet. (that one is in the first picture in the thread you can kind of see the feet turned sideways).

Yes- I was skeptical as it seems to only turn the eggs in one direction and I’ve always heard that that isn’t the best way.

Photos of the feet/toes may help, but if the toes are curled then you can try taping them flat for a day to see if that corrects them.

I'd also recommend you giving the chick B-Complex. Dissolve 1/4 tablet into a very small amount of water, then give her a couple of drops several times throughout the day. Do this for a few days.
