Candling

Hi
Is it okay to candle eggs during lockdown because I am hatching coturnix quail and they are almost on day 19 without a single pip in all 35 of them. I just want to know if they are alive or not. Thanks

If you are sure none of them have pipped, there isn't any risk of opening the incubator. There is only a risk after they have already pipped. (I'm hoping for the best!)

Thank you so much for your concern! 5 minutes ago 1 hatched and 2 more have externally pipped!
