Hello i need some help, im on day 12 incubating Coturnix quail for the first time, from everything i have read it is normal for the temp in the bator to rise a few degrees right before they hatch and to turn down the temp. now my question is this what is the time frame of this happening as i said i am on day 12 and have 4-5 days before hatch day, I just had to turn the thermostat down when i haven't had to touch it since i plunged it in and got it going. are they trying to hatch early?
