Day 19 and no signs of movement even after seeing veins prior to lockdown... HELP!!!

Just to verify, these are coturnix quail eggs, right? There are some types of quail that have longer incubation periods.
Yep, these are courtinx quail. I didn't but an extra thermometer because I didn't think it was necessary. I am now really regretting trusting my incubator as it wasn't the best branded either! Will they still hatch? It is day 20 now. I was thinking of listening to the egg however I didn't want to open eh incubator. Yesterday, on day 19, I think I saw one of the eggs move . Is there still a chance?

An extra thermometer and an extra humidity gauge that has been salt tested is absolutely necessary.
You can never under any circumstances trust a built-in thermometer or humidity gauge in any incubator.

Always purchase separate instruments and calibrate them.
 
Is it ok for me to open the incubator? it is day 20 now
I'm guessing by this statement you have never candle them... Is that true?

Which means They may not even be fertile or be developing.

Definitely candle a few and do it in a dark room.
 
I candled it and it looks exactly like that. It is day 20 now, however. Do they still have a chance? I cant hear anything when I put it against my ear so I am not certain...
Then wait... There is no harm in doing nothing but waiting. You cannot open the eggs yet. If they are still alive they still have a chance to hatch on their own. You opening an egg will not do any good so just wait.

Did you see any shadowy type movement in the air cell?
