Button Quail- incubation to hatching. (Day 1) Pic added

[FarmGirl01]

Well, I just turned them this afternoon. I turn about twice a day. I can tell some are developing by the way they feel. The developing eggs seem heavy and they lay differently than a non fertile eggs. I have 9 days left to go. They should hatch next Friday.
I think you are a few days ahead of me. Let me know how they do. Its almost here.

Eggs really can handle temp changes. I wouldn't worry to much. How many do you have?

I don't like the "not being able to candle". Its driving me nuts.

i wouldnt worrie about it cause i just had a bunch of button quail hatch and some was hatching on the 14th day and the others was hatching on day 17 and my incubator would go up to 102f and down to 99f but the humidity stayed between 20% to 30% and im using a still air incubator. its my jumbo quail that im having trouble with and thats with a forced air incubator,i should have used my still air for them as well. as for weight i couldnt tell if they was growing or not,to me they was the same
