Quail Egg Hatching Question

[rogduran]

Hi all,
I have 10 quail eggs incubating for the first time,.
Today it's their 16th day and I stopped turning on their 14th day as recommended.
I checked the eggs using the light after 1 week or so of incubation and all 10 were developing fine.
However none of the eggs have started to hatch yet.
When should I start to worry?
Thanks!

They usually take 17-18 days to hatch. Give them a day or 2.

It can take a couple days for quails to hatch but if the humidity is not raised to about 55 to 60% the quails will not be able to get out of their shell and will die if they're still not pooping raise the humidity more and gently tap on the eggs and listen for peeping you should wait until the 24th day before you throw them away.

I don't usually hatch mine in the incubator, but when I did, they hatched at day 19. I wouldn't worry yet.
