No signs of anything yet! I -thought- I heard a peep a moment ago, but only once, so I may have been hearing things or heard something outside. I checked the eggs anyway. The anticipation is killing me!
I will definitely post pictures, though!
 
We also are incubating coturnix eggs right now. We have six pips and I'm checking the incubator every five minutes. I'm so anxious! The fact that there even any live minds makes me ecstatic because we had lots of issues with power outages, temp spikes, humidity control and our band new turner stopped turning a few days before hatching day and it took me a day to notice it wasn't moving.

We have one that's been breathing through the open shell under the membrane for over twelve hours. The rest are small pips. None of my eggs are moving at all though. I thought we'd see them wiggling or rocking when they start pipping...

Ive got jumbo brown coturnix in the incubator here! So the real hatchday is day 18 which is tomorrow, but i scheduled it around day 16 just in case they werent actually jumbo.
I read that eggs dont always wiggle before hatching so no wiggles doesnt mean somethings wrong.(though theyd be exciting to see!)
Also that egg turners should be turned off 2 days prior to hatch anyway? Unless it was more than that...

Either way, super glad you're having a successful hatch so far! Congrats!
 
Ours are suppose to be jumbos. Today is day 17. First baby is here! We stopped turning on day 15 and upped the humidity to 85% on day 16.

He's trying to stand now. So tiny!
 
Our day 17 actually starts at 4 today too so this little one is early. He's walking around chirping and falling over the other eggs. It almost seems like he's trying to call them out. hehe
Good luck in your hatching! These last couple days of waiting are sooo long!
 
Thank you so much, yes these days are so horribly long! Glad your first little baby is doing well and wobbling all over! I still don't seem to have any pips, but will keep checking!
