Hatching humidity level - what's the right number?

I meant to ask about that too...I have been taking the red plugs out periodically but then the humidity drops very quickly below 65%. I let it get to around 60% and then put the plugs back in. There are smaller holes in the top and a larger hole in the back where I had to make room for the cord for the turner. Is that a sufficient amount of air?

And good morning Mark - no, nothing yet. When should I expect to see wiggling? I think technically day 19 doesn't start until tonight.

I work 8-5 so I already told my boss this morning that I "may" have to call off unexpectedly on Friday, possibly Monday. No way I'm going to miss this! I'm panicked enough while I'm gone now!

Lol

Different eggs do different things... my eggs when i take them off the turner on day 18 there wiggling and they wiggle on and off from day 18 to the time they pip wich is always on day 20 for me

like your eggs may not wiggle till they start to pip.. it's all different.. but i can't wait to see all the little cute fluffy chickies!

i know what you mean.. during my very first hatch in may.. i took off work for day 18 all the way to day 20. luckly day 21 was on a saturday...lol

Oh oh...hopefully they are ok then. Not even a half a wiggle. I'm going to be a basket case.

Button quail eggs come off the turner tonight - day 14. Going to be a LOOOONG next few days but I can't wait!!

Next month after my B-day i'm gonna order so many button quail eggs...lol atleast 30+ ( i gotta save room for some other eggs)
