Advice for pipping quail, day 22...

[SMMS3617]

I have a clutch of 15 eggs, all viable as of day 14. It's now day 22 for my quail and yesterday we had 5 start pipping. The humidity has been between 50-70% since day 14 and heat at 99.5.

Is it true it can take 12-24 hours for quail to "unzip"?

Any other advice for a first-time hatcher too, is appreciated.

What type of quail? Is your incubator calibrated?

I was using a secondary humidity gauge.

Unfortunately only three made it so far. Had some losses and quitter eggs.
