I'm literally at the end day 16. I haven't heard and pipping or seen any hatching or movement. This is my first time trying to hatch out my button quail eggs. I put 27 eggs in the bator. I was hoping to get at least a 6-10 babies from this hatching. Any advice on how long I should wait?
Just be patient. My first batch if buttons ever, came 2 days late. I would candle tomorrow night when it's dark and then you can see movement in the air sack if they are developed.
I just saw this thread, my buttons are due tomorrow and I've hatched like 4 out today. I set I believe 20 (they're in with cotournix all hatching right now!)
Ooh fun! I was hoping to get some early birds but none. I still only have one Pipped. I have to get ready for a 9 hour shift so I think I will miss the whole thing. Grrrr. Keep me posted.
