Day 8 now :)

Hello,

Well my 12 chinese painted quail eggs are on day 8 in my Brinsea Mini Eco, I candled 4 right now and could see veins :woo:

I just have a question : When the chicks hatch how long should I wait to remove them, As I have heard that they need to eat very soon after hatching.

Thanks in advance,

They don't need to eat very soon, they'll be fine in the incubator for 24 hours. Its best to wait until they've all hatched to start removing chicks.

as Emma said, for me this hatching I leaved them for more than 6 Hours.
