Button Quail Hatch-a-long, 3 batches

[TeresaW]

I'm wondering if 11 is a button. He's completely black - even his feet and beak and his wings look different.

Are there buttons that are completely black?

Three are out, and they're all dark with the same kind of wings, all from the lighter colored eggs.

17 is out!

@bantamsrmyfav viii is now out!

Y has a pip @007Sean

W and 16 are out.

S is out.

One poor chick is stuck in its shell. It's head, wings and toes are out. It's alert and struggling. I'm hesitant to help it. It's been like that for 2.5 hours so far. I don't want to open the incubator as there are eggs with pips.

Another chick is having trouble staying upright. It's rolling around on its side with its head tucked under. It's also trailing its umbilical cord and the other chicks are pulling on it.

Oh good, the one stuck in its shell is out. Whew.

I'm going to bed now, it's 3:15 am. I'm setting my alarm for 6 am so I can check on them.
