How to tell if Coturnix quail eggs are going to hatch?

[Attack Chicken]

Simple really just like a chicken egg

Like the poster above said plus in some you can see veins at the earlier stages.

I wasn't able to see anything when I tried. I suppose maybe with a higher powered light it'd be possible. Too late now, I don't want to disturb them.

No piping yet. Good thing I work today otherwise I'd be glued next to the incubator in anticipation all day

It's be like watching a flower grow. ahahah

I'm still not sure what day you are on right now my friend.
If you are 17+ with coturnix, and it looks all dark when you candle...That's because there is a chick in there. If it's less than 21 days, then let it ride.

I dont remember how many eggs you had, but you should start seeing the early pips any time if your on your 17th day. +1 what Joe said about opaque eggs, thats a good thing at this point, just the air pocket should be seen even with a bright light. Sending you good hatching vibes from Kansas!!!
