One of Bo’s friends gave him a dozen quail eggs about 2.5 weeks ago and the first six finally hatched yesterday. It takes 17 days for quail eggs to hatch and the babies look healthy.
The eggs are tiny in comparison to the chicken eggs.
Max was curious, and not surprised because of his hunting instinct. We know to keep him away.
Newly hatched baby quail.
More update to come.
What are going to do with the chicks
Hi Salalao, we plan to keep these. I have bought a big bird cage for them, and they will be ready to leave the heating lamp by the end of this week. I will post more photos, they are a lot harder to photograph than the baby chicks since these could fly.
