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 :urgh:

Well done to you too BB :whoohoo: 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 :lol:
