Photos of the quail chicks taken a few minutes ago (8pm). The oldest hatched last night, making it less than 24 hours old.

Don't count your quail before they're hatched

We have some quail eggs in an incubator and they weren't due to hatch til tomorrow (friday). Two of them hatched yesterday evening and a third hatched overnight.

I'd forgotten how small they are when they hatch, but when you check the size of the quail eggs this shouldn't be a surprise.

Our original three hatchlings from before Christmas are all doing ok and are almost as large as their parents.
