Hello all,
I have been incubating and hatching Corturnix and Bobwhite quail for a few years now, however this batch of eggs I have never encountered this issue before. My eggs were supposed to have hatched 2 days ago. I put them in on July 1st and it is now July 25. They chicks are peeping and I can see the eggs cracking open but they have been like this 2 days now and they haven’t even pecked out enough that the shell has even cracked good and I can hear the chicks chirping. I have had my temperature and humidity right the whole time during incubation and it’s been right for the last 3 days of peeping period but why have they not come out yet? Is this something I may have done wrong during the incubation process? Are the eggs just not that good and they are a “bad” batch? I have a few times had one or two that did not make it all the way out before but never every one of them.
