Japanese Quail Eggs Hatching In Hovabator Incubator

    Hi All,
    Just thought that I would let you know that I have had 42 japanese quail eggs in the incubator and yesterday (Saturday) I could hear cheeping. Tonight the eggs pipped and at about 7.15pm one chick hatched by 7.45 there were about 16 and at 9.30 there are now 20 with more still pipping. It's just amazing how quickly they all hatch out. Apparently quail chicks will call to each other in the shells to synchronise their hatching. I have taken a video of the hatching and some photos and will post them soon.

    I am delighted that the eggs are fertile. If you fancy having ago at incubating and hatching and if you live in the UK then I have quail eggs for hatching for sale. http://farmingfriends.com/japanese-quail-eggs-for-hatching-for-sale/

    Kind regards

    Hi Sara,

    Hope all hatched well. As I said in my e-mail I have ended up with 38 out of 62 so not too bad as I did reduce my cock birds to one!!! All are well nearly a week on and feathering up, I never get over how quickly the quail chicks come on compared to the pheasants. If anyone in the East Sussex area wants some quail I will happily pass some of the excess on. Such delightful birds to have around.

    Best wishes

    Sallie.

    Hi Sallie,
    Really good to hear from you as always. 30 chicks hatched but one didn't make it as it's vent was all bloodied so I kept that one in the incubator alittle longer and put the other in the brooder. Unfortunately the poorly one didn't make it.
    One of the quail chicks died last night. I am not sure why, so now have 28. Some are dark brown, some are cream and others are fawn coloured.
    Thanks for sharing your photos.
    Here are my quail chicks.

    Look forward to more updates.
    Best Wishes
