Incubation

I have coturnix in the incubator. I put them in on the 7th of June. Do I take them out tomorrow or Friday? My last batch I took them out on the 14th day to stop turning and i think it was too early. I have 5 survive.

Do not take them out until day 18. Or else you'll destroy the whole batch.

Ok. So i dont take them out of the auto turner until day 18? Sorry ive read so many different things. One thing i read said to take them out and lay them on the bottom on day 14. And others say different. I did that with my previous and they hatched but i want to make sure thats correct because i did have a few that did not hatch. Thank you for your reply!

Day 14 for quail eggs. @Poultry keeper12, I think you are talking about chicken eggs.
