On Easter I found One Quail Egg in a potted plant.
I've been checking on a regular basis - Periodically there would be another Egg. At last count this morn - there's 10 Eggs.
It's very cool.
The Quail is sitting on the Eggs constantly now & they're due to hatch.
I thought Quail would lay all the Eggs at the same time.?
Who knew.??

just watch out for cats and anything else that will eat them.

In all the years living here on a Golf Course I've seen the new born chicks running behind the parents - they're just little cotton balls.
I've found Eggs abandoned some times.
This plant is up on a pedistal - very anxious to watch the miracle.
I think it's very cool - Odie you'd love this.

exactly - that's me...:wah:
I'm not sure if the chicks can get out of this planter safely.
It's deeper than your pic - and on a pedistal.
I've helped other chicks
I don't know much about Quail
but, I did learn - if I find a stray chick you cannot just place it with any group of Quail.
So, times I've had to allow it to wander in a safe direction. (I have a pool).

It takes from 3-4 weeks for them to hatch, I just thought maybe 2 weeks, but I just googled it and it says 3 to 4.
They should hatch in the next week or two as you posted seeing them April 18th.
yippee, your gonna be a mommy soon!:-6

It's funny you asked..?
The Chicks were chirping & climbing the branches on the plant.
I put foam cushion around as the Chicks were dropping out of the plant.
Mom & Dad and @ 9 Chicks ran away from home..
Toooooo Cute
