lol, That's normal! It's probably going to take hours.

I usually aim for 65% but depending on how many eggs you have hatching sometimes the humidity will bump up as they're hatching anyway. You won't notice as much of a spike with quail as with chickens purely because of their smaller size and less fluff to dry.

If you start with 60% and notice the membranes looking a little dry once they're pipping it's easy to increase the humidity at that point as well.

It's at 71% now, is that okay?

This didn't cause the temperature to drop for you?

The thermostat was able to hold the temperature even with the cover -very- slightly open.

Yes, that ok and you can let it drop to 65%. The humidity will creep up a little as they start to internally pip as well. It will all level out.

oh I knew it was normal but figured my luck it would all happen while I was at work and i would miss it. There is the tiniest little hairline of a zip starting but so tiny it doesnt photograph well.

And 1 under my broody has a good pip going!

I know it can take forever. But the pip is still more just broken shell, like in pic,. I haven't noticed a beak peeking out or anything. Is that fine?

 

[junior67]

OMG more is cracked! now it just needs to push them off so I can see in! I am so excited!!!!!!!

Yes that's fine. They crack the shell to allow more oxygen into the shell. They won't start pecking at the shell more until they're ready to come out.
