Don't count your quail before they're hatched

Story location: Home / Blog / quail /
31/Jan/2008

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.
