Goliath Quail Chick Wet Specimen | Egg Shaped Dome

The most adorable little quail chicks inside an egg shaped dome. 
These babies unfortunately did not hatch and were passed onto me by someone who farms quail for meat and also pets. 
They're half the size of a newly hatched chicken chick.
Fixation:
Fixation is achieved using a 10% clear formalin; formalin creates a chemical crosslink between proteins within the tissue structure. This is called fixing, and it prevents decomposition from occurring if done correctly by injection of the internals and soaking for a prolonged period of time to allow each specimen to fully preserve.
 
Solution:
The specimen is then taken from the formalin and soaked in distilled water for approximately 24 hours. This removes the formalin that has fixed the tissue and leaves the tissue fixed as the formalin is no longer needed. The wet specimen is then transferred into a dome and suspended in a solution of ethanol, pure glycerine, and an antifungal agent known as thymol. Your specimen should last you a lifetime with the proper care. If cared for properly, this specimen will not need a solution change.
 
Keep out of direct sunlight.
