First hatch gone wrong?

It is highly likely that you're humidity was too high throughout If your humidity gauge has not been salt-tested. You would know if it had been tested cuz you wouldn't have had to done it yourself.
What your humidity is at right now would kill chicks in my incubator.
Can you candle a couple of eggs right now and get clear pictures of what you're seeing?

I’m not able to candle right now, but I’ll check them in a couple hours.
Agh! I Had read 65-70 was the target humidity. It stayed closer to 65, but….

This is what you are looking for:

How can you tell if it’s internally pipped?

ETA: nevermind. I got it.

I hatch quail all the time.

And my incubator stays at about 30% and I do not raise the humidity until I see an external pip and then I only raise it to 50%.

Did you candle any eggs yet?

Yes! It looks like a couple stopped developing days ago. I don’t know what I did different, but those ones were easier to see and it was clear they stopped developing by the glow. I carefully opened the shell of one to get a good idea of when it stopped and it was pretty early.
2 I couldn’t see clearly through the shell and the other 2 I candled looked like they had intact air sacs.
