Put a light up to the eggs in a dark room and see if there are veins, if there are then they are alive but if not then they probably aren't. When hatching, to insure they dont die, you can help them oit by breaking the egg a bit for them. Bring them to a local shelter because they will likely not survive without special care. The shelter could even give you updates on how the birds are doing. Good for you for taking them in!

Hi everyone,

Due to some unfortunate events these past week, i now have 7 quail eggs under a heat lamp. The mother didn't sit on the eggs for a very long time, one hatched and got picked to dead by one of the other quails and 2 other died while trying to hatch( mom kept kicking them out of the nest)

The last one that died trying to hatch was almost 3 days ago. All 7 eggs have a air sack and dark area( the baby).

Yesterdag and today i did the 'water test' where i put the eggs in warm water and see if they wobble. Only one did definitely wobble both times but i didn't hear any pipping.

I know you should never open a egg, but i kind of think i should open one of the eggs that didn't wobble to see what is going on in there.

Does anybody have a tip for me?
