And then there were quail: My first hatch

Well, it looks as though it is all over and done with now. My first batch of eggs look to have hatched all they are going to hatch. It has been a good experence though

If you would like to read about it, feel free to pop over to my blog and have a read
I've just posted up the 'last day' text, but still need to sort through my photos and get the video clips up. But will put those up as soon as I have them sorted.

Well done you!!!

Yes, sadly just the two made it.
Scrabbler was just took weak in the end after constantly trying to stand up. Poor thing.
Going to be cracking open the rest of the eggs later on that are left in the incubator to see what went wrong. Took out eight eggs the other day after candling them and finding out that they had stopped growing days and days ago (they were tiny embros still).

And ... The names can be attributed to my other half - each time one popped out of it's egg he'd give them a name

aww sorry for your loss and congrats on the others

so sorry Allison, but at least you got a little Blackfoot and Reckless

I have just updated the blog again with a link to the uploaded photo gallery for the eggs and chicks. It also contains two short videos. One of Scrabbler before he passed away (so glad I made that video now) and one of Blackfoot and Reckless in the mini-brooder.
