Wanted to try hatching some jumbo coturnix quail, so I have a homemade incubator with 14 eggs. Building a good one is apparently more complicated than i originally thought, and Ill definitely be getting a better one before trying again (actually should have one coming next week).
Anyway, had problems with humidity and keeping the temperature stable the whole time and thought Id killed any chances of hatching, but before I went to pull everything apart yesterday(day 22), I noticed I had one pipped! The little guy managed to crack a bigger hole sometime last night, but I haven't seen any progress since then. Hasnt made any noise but I can see him moving periodically, and keeps opening and closing his mouth. Has been doing this for about the last 13 hours. Is this normal and im just being impatient or is there something wrong?
