I've never hatched quail before!

Okay so my female quail laid about 15 eggs and I was going to let her hatch them but she wouldn't sit on them. So I've taken them and I'm not completely sure what day I am on. They are all different sizes and some died due to the moms failure to incubate them so now I have 13 and there is movement in all of them. My temperature is between 99.9 and 100. My humidity is at 40 at the moment. (I will raise that a bit) but I am wondering what I can look for when candling to tell how soon befor they hatch. All of them have bright very visible red veins and most of them are taking up at least 3/4 of the egg. I also noticed what looks like an umbilical chord which is very red and visible. They all also have nice air sacks! Sorry for the length of this but I'm so anxious to see these little furry guys running around! ANY tips are much appreciated! Thanks
