Quail hatch along! (with my own bodyheat)

Those are pictures of the weird egg. I hope the pictures show up I'm not sure if I'm doing this right.

Um, I'm no egg candling genius, but I would just wait. It could be just an anomaly in the albumen. Are the air cells in the right spot (fat end?) You usually don't see anything significant until like day 6 or so.

Have you kept tabs on the temperature? I hate to be a whatever, whatever, but if you can, I would try to see if you could raise it by another 1/2 degree or so.

The air cell is normal at the fat end under that weird jiggly thing. I have been keeping tabs on temp and it's around 99 at night when I'm in bed and 98.5 during the day, I'll try to wear a sweater instead of a t-shirt and see if that helps keep it warmer. Also this is probably a stupid newbie question but what is the albuem?

Women's bodies tend to put off less heat than men's. This may make it difficult to achieve proper incubation temperature.

The albumen is just the egg white part of the inside of the egg.

That makes sense, I'm always cold.

If there is an abnormality with that could it cause issues with development?

If the air cell is attached in the right spot, not usually.

That's good I was kind of worried about that

Today someone ran into and me and I got pushed into a locker and unfortunately one egg did break. Good news it was the egg that figured was infertile and it was so no embryo was hurt, but still really sad.

Also the egg that is developing the air cell came partially detached but not all the way when the other one broke so will that survive or should I just try again with two more eggs? Because even if it does hatch I dont want the baby to be lonely, but on the other hand I don't want to give up if this one could survive. Please let me know if anyone has any opinions in what would be best. Thanks!

Also I had one more question. Are quail like chicken in the way that if you have a rooster all the eggs will be fertilized or will the eggs be hit or miss?
