Incubating coturnix quail eggs HELP!

[mrssmith84]

I set 12 eggs Monday night the 16th! Thursday morning I started seeing cracked shells! It's been 22 hours and hardly any progress! Do they normally take this long to hatch!? It doesn't look like anyone is even close to hatching soon!

It can take up to 30 hours from the time they pip. Avoid helping them hatch, if they cant hatch on their own its highly likely they are not fit for the world.

Well it took well over 30 hours but we have 7 babies so far! They just took their sweet time! The 7th just hatched 10 mins ago!
