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

I'd give them one last candle. If you don't see any movement, I'd call it done and start a new batch.

Here's an article that might help you for your next hatch. I hope you do try again.

Thanks. I would try again but the delivery is a lot!

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?

There was a shadow covering almost all of it. Day 21 and nothing!

Can you post a candling photo? I have no experience with Quail eggs, but I may be able to help determine if there is any life in the egg. Along with the other experienced members that have been helping out.

did you see any movement inside the egg when you candled it?

Ok, I will try to do so and hopefully you may be able to now whats happenign.

I don't think so. I cant remember, I just saw a shadow filling almost all of it. I couldn't look properly as I was scared the egg would get cold and I did not want to turn the egg.

Don't worry about the egg getting cold.
Get a clear look although it probably isn't going to make a difference at this point.

I just want you to look so you can be sure of what you are seeing.

Pay attention to the shadow you're seeing in the air cell and see if it is moving when you move the egg.

Wiggle the egg a little bit or rotate it and see if whatever you see in the air cell moves along with your movement.

I highly recommend not ordering eggs until you buy another thermometer and a humidity gauge and get to know your incubator well.

One of my eggs have completely moved position. At the pointy end I see a bit of brown showing which I think could possibly be the membrane, however their are no cracks or shell lying around? Is this just a mark on the egg or is it actually the membrane? And does this indicate a possibility of hatching, even on day 21?
