Another New Friend

Here is "Buckwheat".  He is the littlest of all the quail.  He also hatched last from the littlest egg.   I think he may be a boy.  However, we may just have to wait a bit longer to see.  He is holding his own with the bigger birds.  He is also getting in some nice reddish brown feathers.  These birds are a bit camera shy, but I will try to get a picture of each one and post it as I name them.

Day 19

Today is the day!  So far 5 eggs have hatched.  One more looks like it has pipped and will try to hatch.  Here is a brief video of the first two hatchlings just minutes old, and the third egg that is getting ready to hatch.  These guys are a bit camera shy, and my camera is not the best.  I didn't get good video of the hatching.
