just moved eggs to hatcher, day 14 and some are rocking....isn't it a little early, thought my temps were running a little low.

hodgepodge of breeds currently..future breeds to be...buckeye..russian orloff..cream legbar.. .bresse........possibly a duck pen ?

I wouldn't worry about it.  Some of mine did this for a day or so before hatching.

One of mine was rocking three days before it pipped(Still hasn't hatched yet) So I think you should be okay. My quail have already been two days late which I think is quite odd. Anyways, the ones that weren't rocking, were the ones that pipped first.

I leave them until they are decently fluffy usually, but most people wait 12-14 hours
