Our quails have just hatched their 2nd clutch - 8 chicks out of 10 eggs. 7 normals and one silver. So cute! I forgot how tiny they are!!!!

They are - I keep going outside to have a peek! tempted to pick them up but might give them a few hours to settle in. And incidentally it is 9 chicks out of 10. She has done really well.

Well done
My quail hatched out today too, seven eggs, seven babies all normals, see how they go over the next few days.
They always hatch out on a cold wet miserable day

Well done to you too BB

Hope your chicks continue to grow well. Ours are alternating between hiding under mum or dad, and roaming around. Parents being very protective, picked up a chick yesterday, and mum called out and flapped into me. This morning dad was trying to look very menacing while i was putting the food dish down
