Hey guys this little ones have been rocking back and forwards all day today but nobody has peeped yet. I can see some hairline cracks in some of them but not hatching yer Im starting to get worried is this normal?
I set them in the incubator on Jan 3 at 7:30 Pm.

I set mine on 12-28 thru 1-3 they are atill hatching. Make sure there is good humidity and watch.

If I set the eggs in the incubator the 3rd at 7 PM when do I start counting days as soon as I set them or 24 hrs after?

I'm pretty sure I remembered reading that Jumbo's usually take an extra day and hatch on day 18. Hopefully someone who's hatched them can confirm.

I just took this video of my eggs. Well not mine but my USPS quail.

Jumbo can take longer. If you put them in on the 3rd then 24 hrs later is a day. On day 14. Lay paper towels over the wire up the humidity and stop turning 4 days later you should have fluff butts

The babies legs will get caught in that wire.
