Most likely not. They usually hatch day 17 or 18. Any that hatch day 21-22 are likely to be weaker.

Crud, I forgot all about this and set my coturnix eggs (12 of them) on Thursday 1/19 and they're set to hatch between 2/4-2/6, or 2/9 at the latest. I usually throw out unhatched ones by day 21 but if they're wiggling I will give them to day 22. Is it the set day or the hatch day that matters more?

So cool!! I've never heard of this! The older farmer men at our church growing up would tell us when it was time to plant ____ whatever crop, and when we were expecting which freeze (blackberry, dogwood, etc). They went off the almanacs - is this the same kind of thing?

With a species like quail that is a 17 day incubation, would I set later for hatching on the full moon, or set at the same time (new moon) and have them hatch before the full moon?
