Hatching a plan or planning a hatch?

Due to the loss of our wild ducklings to crows and seagulls we decided to try hatching some eggs ourselves. Not only will the chicks and ducklings prove to be a great attraction to visiting children, but we will also have a source of organic free range eggs when they become adults. We have kindly been given eggs by Hugh Smith of Kypeside Fishery and Lawrie Clelland of the Hawksnest Farm, Burnfoot. The quail eggs were bought not knowing if the were viable or not but it seemd that they are as we have seen the eggs rocking slightly. We hope to follow the hatch of our first egg and film each stage.
