Well it's a day past the day my eggs were suppose to hatch and I'm kinda freaking out.. I got the eggs shipped and the temperature has been anything but stable, Though I tried to keep it at 99.0 - 101.0 sometimes it would go a couple degrees lower or higher. As for the humidity It was 40-55 and I raised it to 60 during lock down.Oh and I'm using the little giant still air incubator. There has been no movement what so ever no pips, no peeps no nothing. How long should I wait to throw them out? Do you think any of them will hatch?

If they are coturnix quail they will hatch any day between day 17-19, you can relax, they aren't on a schedule. Still air incubators often cause off time hatches because of the fluctuations of temperature/heat zones in the incubator.

If they are coturnix wait until the end of day 21 to throw the eggs out. If they are bobwhites wait until the end of day 24 or 25.
 
Buttons will hatch between day 16-18 but let the eggs go all the way to the end of day 19. Anything that does hatch after that day will most likely have problems you don't want to deal with.
