You will get a lot of different opinions on this topic, Do it however you feel comfortable. I don't believe there is a magic number, I stop turning day 15, and I don't add any water til I see the first pip. The coturnix I've hatch seemed to hatch on day 16 1/2 to 17. But I'm no expert hatcher, I only have a small styrofoam hovabator and I tweak something each hatch I do.It's my first time ever hatching quail, and I have 16 eggs in from normal coturnix, white and buff coloured hens. I put them in two days ago. What day should I stop turning them?
