I'm so happy it's gone so well.Here's where we are at as of now.
30 shipped eggs and 14 eggs from our own quail put in the incubator.
15 shipped and 11 of our eggs appeared viable at candling before lockdown
16 hatched and were put in the brooder this afternoon. 3 more have hatched tonight. Hopefully a few more will hatch. We have 3 of our own eggs and 4 shipped eggs left to hatch.
This may become an addiction.
I do 48 hours and into the trash they go. It's pretty common to have one die after trying to hatch.
Pictures or it didn't happen!
I'll take some tonight. They are so adorable and tiny There is no such thing as a quail with no poop in the picture at my house.But they poo so much! How do you get pics without all the poo
They're adorable! Their feet look fantastic!
So cute! I don't know how others do it but for the first week I add a drizzle of black strap molasses to the water and from day one to forever I put this in their water. I put it in the chicken water as well. https://www.chewy.com/rooster-booster-vitamins-electrolytes/dp/281092
That's awesome. I have this on hand for baking and the dairy cows post calving. That's very easy to do. Thanks for that tip! I've not hand any chicken chicks have this problem so this is a new one for me. Going to add some now to their water.
I've been treating the two (now 1) chicks with Nutri drench poultry which sure looks and smells like it has back strap molasses in it.
