➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

Yes. Both of them are still moving.

You can take a Qtip and gently moisten the dried membrane with warm (98°F) water or coconut oil to get it to loosen up.

Even I stopped and thought for a minute. I'm on the Metra train commuting into the city (Chicago) for work. I was thinking, "wait, is it really Saturday?"

I had to double check too. I’m already at work, but we are open on Saturdays, even though I don’t work saturdays.

Both zippers had not moved nor made progress since earlier. I peeled them a bit. Returned to bator & here they are. Little sticky but wobbling.

1 pipped still pipping. Needs to hurry. 1 just starting to pip. Faintest of cracks.

That leaves 3 with no pip & 3 in the brooder.

@RUNuts your hatch is getting me through a long boring day today. Keep us updated. Are you up to 5 live quail now?

You better look into those three TONIGHT! See what you can tell by looking into the air cell. And listen to them.

glad that i could return the favor. i like to think they are all alive. But 3 in brooder + 2 out of the shells in bator is 5.

Do I see a rice sock?

yes. One more of your great ideas. They like it.

 

[RUNuts]

There. I got a better picture of their sock in the warm place. There is a heating pad in the pillow case that is nice and toasty. The other 2 are under the warm place. Not what I had planned. But it works.

Oh, Kiki!
I'll have an empty incubator come Saturday. Got eggs???

Still craving popcorn. Might make it supper again. I wonder if I can build quail coop #2 in 2 weeks.
