Check your temperature

It's been 99 all month I have a digital thermometer and hygrometer

Can you hear peeping?

You can put chirping noises next to the eggs and see if that makes a difference. It has worked before, try quail chirps.
The baby quails think that the other quilts have hatched and try to hatch themselves.

I had two hatch yesterday and let them stay in all day today and last night but no more pips or peeps I've hatched a lot of chickens I'm just trying to get into quail

I am incubating now but I have done so much reaserch, I'm using my knowledge from research to help, but I'm new at BYC!

Bobwhite quail take 23-24 days to hatch, so yes, 30 days is too long. The temperature should be 99.5 degrees in a forced air incubator, so your temperature is low if you only have it at 99 degrees. Still, that shouldn't make them 7 days late, so my guess is either your thermometer is inaccurate and the temperature is even lower than that (did you calibrate your thermometer?) or you have a still air incubator so your temperature is much lower than it should be. Or both.

It's a forced air it has a fan it's gqf 1502 and I have two thermometers both read 99 so I'm thinking just the time of the year I don't what else it could be
