hi
i had some quail eggs hatch the other day.
only 2 babies survived 1 died hatching and 2 others died
2 eggs were not fertile.
but i have 2 beautiful tiny little quails.
i have no pics yet but keep watching as i will be putting a pic of them 2morrow.
i cant believe how samll they are.
the mother quail is doing a great job raising the survivors.

Hi Jamie

Sorry to hear that you lost some babies.
What sort of quails are they?

If they are King Quails........yes they are real small, I once had a pair hatch six.........it was a nightmare as they got thru the 1/2 inch bird wire on their aviary, I went nuts trying to catch them all.....I fixed the problem by putting fly screen netting along the base of their cage ;D
