My Quail aren't hatching!

[chicken+quail=luv]

I have a dozen Cortunix quail eggs in the incubator, and no one has pipped yet. It's day 16, so I'm probably just too anxious or worried or something, but I thought they'd hatch by now!

The temperature is exactly 99 degrees, we role them 3 times a day, once in the morning, once in the afternoon, and once at night. The lady we got them from said that we had no need for humidity,

, so it's not humid in there.

I'm I just being paranoid, or should I pop a hole in the egg to see if anythings inside? I REALLY want them to hatch!

Sorry I can't help but maybe I can help you post be seen.

Haha, thanks.

Ugh... oh well. I may as well stop being paranoid.

I thought their incubation period was 17 days. If then no need to worry yet.
I know patience is so hard.

My last 2 hatches of these took 18 days.

If the temp is 99, you might have to wait a day or two longer. I had some hatch as late as 21 days on one hatch. Don't give up hope yet.

I know someone would come along.
