Coturnix hatching eggs - recently updated - PIC HEAVY

[waterfowl rocks]

My first hatched around 3 1/2 hours ago, and no more are even close to getting out, 10 have pipped though. Should I be worried about the ones that have pipped?

What's your humidity at? Don't let them stay pipped but not out too long, they don't do well stuck in eggs.

I find I have better hatches at 55% and up. If they stay "stuck" to long, get a pair of tweezers and zip for them. Don't keep them out of the incubator to long, and try to let them do the work of getting out.
