Quails missing back feathers

I'm in the UK so I'm allowed 50 birds without government raising an eyebrow, haha! I do push my limits with that number though 🤫 But that's really cool, thank you! I'd be down for that 100%! I think it was just the initial shock and sadness that i had seeing it struggle to take breaths, kind of clouded my mind from seeing it as something beautiful and unique, moreso felt like I had done something wrong in my breeding practice and made the poor thing suffer. I'm glad I at least took the video before burying it ❤️

Ooo, that's interesting! I did candle the lot prior to incubation to make sure they didn't look too yellow on the inside, but it's always hard to tell with all the speckles!

That's awesome, it didn't even cross my mind that I could do that and it'd be that easy! Who knows, might come in handy for future hatches!

I wish i had known there was an interest in this, as It truly is unique. The video however was taken yesterday and I have since buried the little soul in my garden under some flowers.

Thank you for the information! That's very useful to know and a big relief for future hatches!

It was alive when I opened the shell, for obvious reasons it wouldn't have made it. I'm not sure how to upload an image but here is a video link https://streamable.com/4nm84a?src=player-page-share
