@@joshuadaniel6004 Why are you bringing politics into this? This video has nothing to do with gender identity at all. Quail do need males to fertilize so I don't know where you get the idea that they don't need to breed. Really, no one was saying anything until you brought your antagonistic ass talking about a topic that no one was talking about.
I wonder if there are any bad side effects for the quails, from the way the eggs were treated while people thought they were going to be food. Refrigeration, transport, no one sitting on them, etc
@@HurricaneHugues It's not tecnically the same since those were fertile and will have almost no chance of hatching after some days have passed. Sperm and non-fertilised eggs can still be fertilised and fertilise after being refrigerated
@@airena1449 False. Refrigeration slows down all metabolic functions of cells. The reason why we don't freeze embryos is because it's fucking unethical
Sorry but A Rock is right. The channel is called A Chick Named Albert I believe and the first video is about how he went to the store for quail eggs and put them in an incubator until one hatched. That is if I remembered correctly😋
I figured that some eggs from the grocery store were fertile, but I'm more surprised that they would hatch after being refrigerated for who knows how long! Really cool video!
How to get a pet secretly: Step 1: ask your parents if you can buy some quail eggs for "cooking" Step 2: go to the shop and buy the quail eggs Step 3: get an incubator and put the eggs in there Step 4: let them hatch and BOOM
@@janettaschuch3591 It's small because it's a female and California Valley types are smaller than other quail types. She's the average size for a baby, so she's fine. Nothing to worry about.
Do you guys not know what cookies (and I'm not talking about the baked ones) are? How old are you even? Not old enough to be on youtube that's for sure
@@gavinmagness9009 It's not easy sometimes to sex them so some males may slide and fertilize some females. And I'm not sure there's a practical way to check for fertilized eggs, nor that their is any regulation. If the eggs were taken on day one they're good to eat, so it won't matter alot
Cold is actually very bad for the embryo inside. Eggs need to stay at or about 50 degrees. And also be about 99.5 deg F after ten days. It’s pretty amazing that 3 out 40 actually hatched.
Chickens lay eggs constantly so they don't need males around them. I am not certain that that applies to quails, I think they need the males around in order to lay eggs but I will have to look it up.
Theyre supposed to be, and chicken eggs are almost certainly are, but its more difficult to tell male quail from female than it is with chickens, and as mentioned early in the video quail eggs have relatively thick amd dark shells so its extremely difficult to candle them to see if they are fertile. So basically, with quail eggs ots much easier with a fertilized one to slip through the system
Nice experiment. Afther 5 days in the incubathor you can select the eggs and leave to hatch just the good ones, (i raise 3 species of quails) just use a bright light and put the eggs closer to the light, if they are good you can see blood veins inside the egg.
I live near Las Vegas and we have quail families all over the place near us. They are amazing birds. They cross the street in a line with the parents and the little ones follow, and we always stop the car and let them walk across the road. It's my favorite thing about living out here.
Hatching actually takes a long time, because the membrane in the egg has tons of blood vessels, and they have to drain into the bird before it can get out. So mist peopke get bored quickly with hatchings. If you rush it and try to help it can kill them
@@perez9619 What they were saying was that recording it takes up memory and you might run out before the egg even fully hatches. You were referring to what they could do with the footage l, but you have to get it first. Dont be rude...
I've never eaten quail eggs before. After watching this, now I never will. I can't believe they sell fertilized eggs. Those babies are gorgeous. I'm glad you saved them. Just think, someone woulda eaten them ='(
You do realise that the egg has no development therefore no life? You're not saving or killing anyone by doing whatever you do, and at the end of the day it's poultry and they die, they die often, trust me I've lost a lot of chickens to disease just this year and it is heartbreaking, but you just keep on living. And quail eggs are delicious btw, you missin out
You do know there's a difference between fertilized and not fertilized eggs right? Saying you wouldn't eat anymore because of this is stupid, EVERY STORE EVERYWHERE will eventually sell at least 25 fertilized eggs, and that's in only a year.
It's not a case of them developing that bothers me. I just find it morally wrong to eat a fertilized egg. It's the same reason I don't eat veal. And you can't say having morals is stupid. It's morals that keep someone from killing you because you pissed them off. People have different morals for different reasons, I won't eat fertilized eggs or baby cow, someone else may not have children because the world sucks and why bring them into it when they don't have the choice? I'm glad I watched this video a year ago because I wouldn't have known they go against my morals. IMO, if you're going to raise poultry for their eggs, do your best to separate males from females so they don't try to breed until you want them to. You may not be 100% successful but the chance of selling fertilized eggs would be highly decreased. But that's my opinion. And they're like butts, everyone has one. You don't agree? You do you, I'll do me.
So......how does that happen? Is this sort of thing only possible with quail eggs, and isn't there like a process to make it so fertile eggs don't make in the grocery section or something? I'm genuenly curious about it!
This is generally doesn't happen with most chicken eggs because they're older and a lot of companies keep the chickens in one solitary cage for their entire lives and grind up the males alive at Birth
@@FrancisR420 that's wrong, they lay eggs no matter what. Males need to be present for fertile eggs. More likely a Male is with the females and they dont know it, or a wild male is getting to them.
Cool stuff! I didn't think they would hatch after going through being harvested, packaged, transport to the store and refrigerated. I wonder if the same thing can be done with one of those fertilized duck eggs that are sold at Asian markets?👍
I hatched quail last year and OMG they were the smallest and cutest things I have ever held, I literally love them so much, they were also my first incubation!
@@Faith-zt3pq I get that, but it is the reason why people are saying they will not eat them now, It's gone from an inert cell to forming a living creature. It plays on peoples minds.
How cool! I hatched my own duckling once with a little, very cheap, incubator. I already had the two white, domestic parents... so I just used one of their eggs. They never hatched any themselves.
You've never heard of women feeezong their eggs or men freezing their sperm? Freezing slows down metabolic activity in organisms. It preserves them. That's why you can pit your chicken in the fridge and eat it a week later and it still tastes fresh.
@@chileanpo you don't have to wait for anything. Cameras can record on their own you know? Just go back and check the last days footage once the eggs hatch
It's how they get a hen to hatch ducks they build her eggs up in the fridge slip five or so duck eggs under her wait a week put some of the chick eggs back under
I'm trying to hatch a duck egg I bought from an Asian market. The thought of it being boiled alive compelled me to buy it to try to save it. Plus, ducks are cute.
The reason that works is that quail, unlike chickens, won't lay without a male, so they all get fertilized. If you refrigerate them, they won't grow and hatch, but if you keep them at 50-60 F then when you have enough eggs, within a week or so, you can put them in an incubator and they will start growing.
You shouldn't be able to because once an egg gets below a certain temperature it won't grow. Though I've only hatched and raised chickens so I don't know if that extends to quails as well Edit: nvm, looked and you can it's just not preferred.
I worked at a market that sold quail. And a customer told me that the they heard some sound from the box a week later and a little quail was in there....
