Congratulations 
How exciting for you!! I loved incubating and hatching my quail, they were such cute little bumble bees when they hatched 
Good luck with your hatch

I'm a bit concerned 3 have pipped the one that pipped first which was rocking and I could hear the chick in through the bator has stopped any movement noise. I last heard it at 13.00. Will it be resting or has something happened. My humidity is 55% should I mist the eggs?
How many hours pipped now? I'm on a different time zone to you I think. I would try and get your humidity up to 65% by adding water the incubator not by misting the eggs. You don't want water to get into the pip hole and drown them.
They sure do rest and quite a lot too. They have a lot to do prior to hatch and it's very hard work for them.

Can still only see 3 pipped I just sprayed the space around the eggs avoiding the pipes holes. The humidity has risen to 67% and instantly heard chicks churping again. Fingers crossed I am going to wake up to a bator full of healthy chicks. I'm in the UK it's now 19.00
I'm in UK too!! So it's 7pm here as well No need to worry for at least 24 hours after the initial pip. Periods of rest are quite normal. Have a read of this article it's great ~ https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/hatching-quail-eggs-and-brooding-quail-chicks

2 chicks out
Congrats Goodness! Have you not slept? 
Your hatched should encourage the others to get a move on. They all don't pip at the exact same time so you may have more pips this morning.
