HELP!!!

how long is the average incubation period for a button quail??? it is currently day17 but i don't see anything happening!

It's supposed to be 16 days but if the weather is a bit cool it can take a few more days. I had one girl recently hatch hers on day 18 and we are in the middle of a heatwave down here! So take the 16 days with a pinch of salt.
