? About Aircell Size

[Cherlyn]

I am incubating quail, and am on day 13. I stop turning eggs tomorrow, and they hatch hopefully a few days after that. How large should my air cells be at this point?

i got confused

, you said they have hatched hopefully but you ask the aircell size. ???

 

[Cherlyn]

They WILL hatch hopefully a few days after that. Sorry.

It should be between 25% and 40% of the size of the egg, almost half as big as the egg is

 

[mulia24]

i "heard" the eggs "volume"/"weight" will be reduced about 15-20 % after 18 days, then the aircell "should" be in that number (15-18%) also. that's what i find on internet.

 

[shelleyd2008]

That is for chickens, quail only take 18 days

Oh, my. Hm. So I need to decrease my humidity, then, because my air cells are a bit small. Yikes.
