Quail chicks on the way

First thing this morning, as I was getting the bottle-fed lamb's bottle ready, I heard a "cheep, cheep" coming from the incubator. The first of the quail had hatched. Its feathers had dried off and were fluffed up making it the size of a walnut. When I return indoors after seeing to all the livestock, a second quail had hatched. Today is day 17 of incubation and the expected incubation period is 18 days for quail. Hopefully more to follow in the next day or so.
