Our quail eggs were on day 16 and we moved them to the hatcher yesterday. Sometime this morning we had a brief power outtage and the temp was 92 for I don't know how long. The eggs were moving a lot last night and we only saw one slight wiggle after we got the temp up again. Do you think they might make it?

They'll be fine, same thing happened to me. Dont get worried
if you dont see pips because there so hard to see until they really
start zippin'
 
Yeah, I had little button quail eggs and boy I heard cheeping. But I couldnt
see any pips! you would have to have the little egg right up to your nose
to see anything!. Hope you have some pips and maybe some babies when you get
home!
 
Quail are really resilient when it comes to hatching, as long as the humidity is good, those eggs are generating the majority of the heat they need, you will have to tell us how your hatch goes. Mothergoose sells button quail as well.
