Quail eggs hatching

[BELLAPURPLEWOW]

Hi there! This is my first hatch for quail. Today is day 16 and I just had a few concerns/questions. One of my eggs began slighty moving last night and stopped. Is it OK? I had a few more join in a couple hours ago also. How long from hatch would they be? My temps have averaged between 97-100 and my humidity at 40. (Homemade incu.) Agh I'm so nervous!!

Ok um hi everybody, I need help with my quail eggs.... It is about to be 2 days after the supposed to be hatch date and I really don't want them with crippled toes... Is there anyway I can help them get hatched earlier before it happens?

Are you sure they are alive?
Are you prepared to constantly nurse them if you do assist?

It is really hard to check for life in quail eggs(as u may know), but I am pretty sure that there would be life in them. Is there any way that I could just get the egg started?

Tough tough decision.
I would say step away from the bator immediately. especially after what I just went through yesterday with trying to help one out.

Have you held it up to your ear yet to listen to see if it is tapping on the shell?
When you candle it... What does the air cell look like?

Hi everybody thank you for the help. Unfortunately we had no power for two days and the eggs got chilled. The remaining eggs all died (even the pipped ones) but I managed to keep my hatched chicks alive! Here are some photos. One of them has a crooked neck so I don't know what to do with it.

Here's some more photos
The last one is the chick with a crooked neck.

Hi! I can't give you instructions as this was my first hatch but please be careful whatever you do! My quail were a few days late but they turned out alright. I was scared at first because they had curled toes but that fixed itself within two days. Good luck on your hatch

Sorry to hear about your power. I had that to happen once on a hatch. Glad you got some chicks from the hatch. How's the one with the crooked neck? It could straighten on it's own.

Its neck is still crooked. It can do some freaky stuff like peck with its head twisted backwards. So I don't know. It appears healthy and is doing well though
