Don't quail eggs hatch at 18 days? I would say give them till then

I looked it up, bobwhite quail are 22-24 days and the other quails were 16-18, I would give them a few days

I’ve seen some homesteader YouTube videos mostly their eggs starting coming out day 16
But let see couple of days
39 out and of 48 are fertile and looks fine

I hope you get all of them to hatch, I have had a broody duck for the past 3 weeks (last week of sitting!) And today we discovered two missing ducks, turns out they are broody as well. I hope your hatch goes really well, and that's a lot of quail

I think they are coturnix quail eggs

Those look like coturnix quails to me, so wait two more days and see what hatches. Also next time you want to hatch for any bird I lockdown two days before the first ones would hatch

You can also post your questions on the Quail forum. I'm sorry I know nothing about them.
