Eggs wiggle when the chick moves into hatching position. Then there will be a quiet period before they pip internally.

Button quail hatch around day 16, coturnix around day 18, but those are just averages, not set in stone.

A damp sponge or cloth will increase the humidity but ensure it isn't touching the eggs as it will chill them and draw water away from them.

Yeah fair enough i normally *mist* mine on day 14 before lock down if quail havent externally pippped yet very unlikely to shrink wrap right @JaeG ? So if havent pipped yet mite be able to quickly open inc make sure u have enough water and stick a wet flannel or something in away from eggs to help increase humidity totally up to u but thats what id do xxx
