When it's close to hatching time, you can sometimes hear chirping coming from inside the egg. Is it close to hatching?

Its about day 10 by in about 10 hours from now if u count 0 as the time u put them in o.o if u scroll up just a tiny but i posted the date and time with the candle pics they did travel 4 days in the mail in California who knows maybe one developed early?

Update just turned the eggs and candled a few randomly i really don't think some are gonna make it o.o and then i found this lil guy and after i used up my candle time taking pics i turned them then left them alone ofcourse took the pics with the incubator closed lol lets see i put them in around 11pm thursday june 18th so thats day 0 ?? If so then by 11pm tonight they should be 10 days old O.O look at it grow so cute hard to see good on camera since i had to candle his air cell from the top to get good light

Update we have some bad news the middle egg as i was candling a few just 10 mins ago i found cracks on his pointy bottom !!! I was so scared and remembered that i saw a tip to use clear nail polish on small cracks o.o but by the time i left the room and came back the crack was spreading !!!! It can only be seen with my candling light meant for this and i wasnt sure on life signs of life so since it was slowly spreading down the side i decided to crack it open since i couldn't save it and these are the pics. Sorry i didn't get any of the cracks i was too panicked then sad to remember . Let me know from all your experiences if it was gonna make it if it wasnt for the crack it was about 3 hours away from day 10 incubation. Or did it give up and was the cracking signs of bad egg ???

i don't know if buttonw eggs are different than coturnix, but for coturnix the humidity should be around 70 percent
