Hi All, 1st time trying to hatch quail

[RL75]

So can anyone tell me if these look like good or bad eggs? Each picture is a different egg. They are corturnix quail eggs and this is day 14 for them. All others were dark but I can definately see air cells. This is my first time hatching and candleing.

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
I've never hatched eggs. My broody did, but she is a chicken and they were chicken eggs... and neither of us know if they were viable until they hatched.

Do you have a cell phone?

If so can you use the cell phone flash light and shine it on the air cell side and tell me if you see any movement?

I would not remove these two from the bator...I'd leave them.
They have developed...if they are still developing I can't tell.

Be very still.
Keep the egg still.

I really can’t tell I am having a hard time knowing what I’m looking at lol. I have 13 in on day 14 and 6 look like the picture and 3 I clearly see air cells and the the other 4 I’m totally unsure about so I guess it’s a wait and see
