How long have they been in the incubator? What kind of quail? Sometimes it takes a little longer than you expect for them to hatch. I would be patient and see what happens, even though it is really hard to wait.

Yeh, beware of Coturnix hatching a couple of days late, mine were stil pipping on day 20 and i was just about to give up, but about 90% hatched...wierd...and even wierder, most of them survived, i think about 25/32.
