Not turning eggs

[Silverline]

I have several kinds of quail and have been use to hatching them out in 18 days so I put them in and stop turning at 15 days. Well Bobwhites are more of 21-23 but I still put them in at 15 days and stopped turning and after looking up realize they take longer. Do you think they will be fine without turning for 5-7 days?

I don't know if there is data for quail but chickens don't need turning after about day 14. So if quail are a similar ratio, you're probably fine. Maybe they'd have benefited from another day of it, but the time when turning is most critical is hopefully well past.

Give us an update when they hatch, if there are more malpositions than usual.

My Bobs always hatch on day 26. What day are yours on now? I would turn the turner back on until day 20.

i think they are 21 days today. Should I turn them or let them sit now?

I would just leave them now then. Hopefully you have a good hatch! My bobwhite just hatched (day 26 today) as I am writing this.
