Hi, i had the same problem last year, and i flipped it over, because if it is upside down, it will be impossiblle to pip, and it would possibly give up an die, so i would flip it over

I opened the bator today, and 3 had pipped the air sac and one hasnt, and i think i heard a chirp. the temp was 37.5 and humidity is 65% and 45% first 18 days (on previous hatches they have died before this stage
Hi, this is my 4th hatch and none of them have been succesful, today is my 21st day of hatching, and still no chickens, although my air cell is slightly mis shapen and it was fine this morning, it doesnt look pipped, but is this a good or bad sign?

i descovered my themometer was set wrong on day 20 then increased it to 36.5, then today i also realised the themometer was 1.5 degrees out, so i dont know what to think, but now i have a broody and am putting eggs under her tomorrow:D
This is the third time i have hatched and have yet again, got nothing, then found my thermometer has broken and is 2oc out, but when i cracked my egg open the chick was fully formed but had not pipped the air sac, is this the temperature or the inubator? the humidity was 72% in the last 3 days...
How many hatches have you done? quail are the hardest to hatch, normaly any chicken can live 3 days in the incubator, but i would see how it goes, use your instinct
