Look in the bottom middle of the egg to see the pip.

How long has it been externally pipped? What is your temp and humidity? Are your readers calibrated?

How long has it been externally pipped? What is your temp and humidity? Are your readers calibrated?

My temperature and humidity are 99.5 degrees Fahrenheit and about 60% humidity actually it's a little bit higher but it's hovering around 60 my readers are calibrated I'm just nervous cuz he have not seen this egg move in the past couple of days and I have not heard it peep once! I'm just really nervous so it's not going to be able to hatch do you think that I should drill some kind of safety whole or just leave it and see what happens I don't know what I should do this is the first time I've hatched an egg that was not under a chicken. Actually for the first 3 days this egg was under a chicken that's just something interesting. If you tap on this image then look in the middle bottom you'll see where it has pipped it has not internal pipped I had candled it it has also not picked near the air cell I am just nervous and do not know what to do.

Since quail usually hatches after 16-18 days there must be something wrong with your brooder (low temperature) or the egg.

It is a hybrid between jumbo coturnix and alchemist blue and it was incubated under a chicken for the first 3 days which wasn't particularly the best but it was still alive after I took it out but regardless it is hatching today

Well - these are certainly unusual circumstances but I would just leave it alone and hope for the best.

Maybe you can distract yourself reading a good detective story...

When you candled it was there any movement? Read this guide https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/step-by-step-guide-to-assisted-hatching.64660/ I think you shpupd start at the air cell with a small hole, and start to break away the air cell. Stay in the air cell, do not touch the bird, and stop of you see any blood. Take a pic when you finish breaking away the air cell and post it. I don't think the whole let the fittest survive theory. The circumstances are artificial so if something happens on our account we need to assist and fix it. If its under a broody then sure it makes sense. If it is already day 20, something is wrong. Just break away the air cell, take a pic and post it, and put it back in the incubator. You'll be able to tell if it's alive by then. If you sit around and do nothing, its going to die. The pip hole is in a odd spot too, it could be malpositioned.

Okay so I should drill a small hole in the air cell then tear the membrane that separating the chick from the air cell then candle it and post a picture?

So you're saying I should slowly break away their cell or just put one small hole? I have just made a small hole in the air so I have heard no peeping and I just canceled it again I will send the pic of what they air cell looks like
