Quail eggs

One of the quail has started laying. The others are too busy pecking each other to death! 

Despite issues with the quail we have just acquired 41 eggs with the thought that we will eat any of them we manage to hatch, at about 8 weeks old so we don't need to keep them long enough to become such a bother. I was reading somewhere that 60% is a good hatch rate, we got about 4% last time, so hopefully we will do better this time!
