This is not my first go around with hatching, I have hatched button quail before and yes, they come out like popcorn! Well, not this time obviously!! They normally hatch on day 17 for me.
Today is day 18, 8 external pips have been made and not one has hatched.. I first noticed an egg with an external pip 24 hours ago and no progress at all. Others were 18 hours ago.
Is there a problem? My temperature is 37.5 C and Humidity is staying at 72-75
Humidity was low as in 40 percent during the first 13 days then I raised it for lockdown.
Any ideas on why they're taking so long? I have a sick feeling my raise in humidity killed them as they are pipping but nothing else.
