This was definitely a special delivery and one we are very nervous about! 12 tiny quail eggs were delivered by courier for us to hatch in our new incubator gifted by Aubree's family. As we opened the box, they were in egg cartons, carefully wrapped in tissue paper to keep them warm and safe. As we unraveled them we noticed each egg was slightly different in colour, some with blue, black or greenish spots, soo small, beautiful and precious. We set the incubator up, placed the eggs in and put up a countdown for hatching calendar. We need to ensure the temperature is correct and listen out for alarms if something is not okay, each day the eggs have a cool down period and need to rotate, we also need to ensure it is topped up with water. We have been watching eagerly..... It's just too exciting!! It is going to take about two weeks to hatch, watch this space!
Our friend Tyler has been singing to the eggs, the lyrics goes like this...
"Little eggs, we are here to help you. We are your best eggy friends. We are just people. We're not really eggs. We're not birds, we are just poor people, but we will help you!"
