You can stop turning the buttons but the other two should be turned a few more days

 

[bryan8]

Do I wait till they all hatch to take them out? Should i take them out when the cornix hatch?

I moved my coturnix eggs to the hatcher on day 14 quit turning and shut hatcher after the first 24 hours I took what had hatched out and put in the brooder shut the eggs back up in the hatcher next day took out more then on day 17 I took out the rest that had hatched. mine started hatching on day 15

 

[bryan8]

And u won't shrink wrap the chicks by opening the bator to collect what hatched?

ours didn't we had over 80 hatch out of 137 eggs and the eggs were shipped over 500 miles away from me. but maybe someone else with more experience on here can help you better. I know they told me not to leave them in the hatcher over 24 hours after they had hatched because they need their food they can't go as long as a chicken chick can
