Quail hatching tomarrow but I need help

[newquail]

Hi There

My Jumbo Coturnix are due to hatch tomarrow day 18 but I didnt realise I should have stopped turing three days beforehand so have only stoopped now. Does anyone know how this affects them or are they likely to be dead?

Thanks

I once had a bobwhite quail hatch 12 hours after stopping egg turning. She was an early hatcher. She wasn't the healthiest bird the first year, but she is still alive and well at 2 years old. (I don't know if the turning had anything to do with her health or not.) Yours might be ok. You will see soon enough!

It won't bother them. I've forgotten to take them off the turner quite a few times. The only ones that didn't make it were the ones that got their heads stuck between the turner racks
