Crossing the Road
So, my Coturnix quail egg is on day 16, all was well just before lockdown, growing really well, humidity is now just over 65%, temperature 37.5.
I thought I heard a faint chirp from the egg yesterday, but it has been quiet today, no sign of rocking or externally pipping. This is my first time hatching so I'm a little worried! If I heard a chirp yesterday, then its been 24 hours since she internally pipped, but now I'm doubting that it was her at all! I'm getting increasingly worried. I know its a little early for a hatch, but if she has internally pipped, how long will she be okay without breaking the shell??
Any advice would be so appreciated!
