Hi, everybody. I have a quail hatching question. I was given Bobwhite quail eggs. I decided to try hatching some. I have candles and gone into lockdown. 30 out of 39 eggs have pipped but none have hatched. I'm now on day 24. How long should I wait before pulling the plug?

Hello, and welcome to BYC. Are the eggs still moving/vocalizing?

Some are but only a few that I've seen. I've been trying to leave them to do their thing and not disturb them too much. I'm not hearing much vocalization and haven't throughout the process but from what I've read that's not that unusual. I've kept my humidity up and my temp steady. I candled before I set then on day 9, 14 and right before I went into lockdown. I only allowed eggs that showed full development to go into lockdown. I've even maintained the room temp and have the incubators in a draft free room where there no chance of someone bumping or knocking over the incubators. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, if anything.
