I've named the two quail cinnamon (the darker one) and sugar ( the pearl one)

Late Day 20:Second one just hatched all by itself! Looks pretty blonde, hope it's a pearl. First one definitely isn't. Won't be able to tell for sure until it's dry, though. Have it on my drying incubator. Its partially dry and def looks like a pearl!

Yeah, I think they were. Probably should've properly calibrated my thermometers.

Day 20: I ended up partially assisting it at the 36 hour mark. It was still absorbing yolk. At hour 46 it was clearly trying to hatch, but struggling because of my partial assist. Got it out, baby is completely healthy ♥️ One of the eggs quit just before hatching.🙁 The other is getting into...

I guess.. it's been 31 hours since one of them pipped.. should I check to see if it's still tapping, or wait until 36hrs? I haven't been opening the incubator. I clicked the reset button on every thermometer, and calibrated the incubator. I guess them all being off is a possibility.. the cool...

5am, day 19: I’m starting to get worried. One of my eggs pipped at around 7:30 am yesterday morning, meaning it has been 21.5 hours since it pipped. I’m planning on waiting until the 23.5 hour mark to assist. The egg was moving about and sounded very strong, it even squeaked back when I tried...

Ok.. that's a relief!

Day 18: one pipped overnight! Can hear the others trying.

Help! Day 17, asked little sister to add a bit of water to my incubator as I wouldn't be home for 2hrs, came home and the humidity was 75%! The paper towels in the incubator were drenched. I took out the paper towels and, fixed the humidity, but had to take the three eggs out to do it. I fixed...

Early Day 17: still no external pips, but I swear I can see them rocking about! I might just be hallucinating, though.. Humidity is staying between 55-61%, I have the whole incubator bottom filled up with water to do so but it's working ok. I'm off to school now, hopefully there are some...

I do too! Good luck with your eggs!

Day 16: no pipping yet, hoping they pip tomorrow. I have been able to keep the humidity at a stable 60%. I can't wait to see what comes out! Really hoping for a pearl 🤞😁 I'm so excited, but sitting on my hands none the less. :ya

Buttons are probably some of the worst type of quail to have alone in my opinion. I'm not sure why it died. If you can't get a companion for it you can try putting a mirror and a teddy or something in there. Were you going to keep them as pets? I suggest spending lots of time with it so it...

Just set my eggs into lockdown on day 15. I had to tape paper towels down because the holes in the hatching net provided were too big. Can't wait to see what comes out! No, I didn't open the incubator lid to take this picture.

Why would I take it out?!?

Day 14: So.. I just candled my eggs. I know I wasn't meant to candle until tomorrow, but I did. Two of the eggs have completely filled up the egg and have normal sized aircell.. but the third one is developing slower and has a huge aircell. It is moving a lot but only taking up about 2/3 of the...

Day 14: putting the eggs into lockdown tomorrow. Can't wait!

Day 11: Removed the quitter egg today. All of its veins had decomposed and it was just a small black blob. Other three eggs are looking great :yesss: Putting them into lockdown on Saturday!

They really are that small! So cute 🥰!

I was just telling someone yesterday about how they don't start breathing until they pip.. wish I could find the BYC facepalm emoji right now.
