Ok so now I'm worried. Its day 16. They been wiggling since yesterday. Well all day today only 1 has wiggled. No changes in humidity or temperature today so what's happening? Are the others dead? What causes other eggs to just stop wiggling when they were the day before?

It’s ok I wouldn’t worry yet, when mine are wiggling like crazy by day 16 it will get VERY quiet in there and I think it’s because they wiggle a lot at first and then grow some more and soak up the extra yolk while waiting to come out, now I could be wrong but I imagine it’s like a baby in a mommy, the baby moves a lot at first but by the end it gets into position and it’s cramped while it waits to come out!

Lol!

So I think it’s ok since it’s only day 16, some of mine have taken til day 19 maybe even day 20, but that was a rare case, but even after a pip I’ve had them take 36 hours!!!! Ugh!

Any pips?

NONE of mine wiggled visibly before they hatched. I watched for straight hours and nope, not one. Yet they all popped out on days 17-19. Yours might just be resting; it takes a lot of energy to break out of an egg, and once they pip internally they have to absorb their yolk. Give them time, if nothing else has changed they're probably fine.

Yeah I agree, also not all of mine have wiggled I should have said that too! Many do, many don’t! So it’s ok for now!!!

Oh thank god! We went bowling to spend time together as a family for the 4th and I thought I killed them by being gone to long! None have pipped yet (much to my impatience) and none of them are chirping inside the egg like I heard They are supposed to on day 16. I did play some quail chicks chirping sounds on my phone to encourage them to not give up on me lol. And ive been talking to them and playing music I'm a very impatient person and have been staring at them for hours today looking for a pip. At one point I thought a spot was a pip and started yelling before I realised lol. I cant wait for them to hatch though! I don't know how people do incubating eggs that take longer than this lol

It’s so hard to wait near the end! I bet you’ll have pips in the morning

The California valley take a little longer and just a few days extra makes me annoyed haha

So we got a pip! At first I could barely tell it was one, just looked like a tiny dent or something. Came back an hour later and it was a bit of shell cracked, another hour and its this! The one above it with all the dogs also seems to be having the early stages of the dent on ones of its dark spot so hopefully by end of day I'll have babies!
