worried about my eggs? in bator

[davedavey]

I still have 3 days left and they are rolling around. I am worried they will hatch to early. They are Cortunix and on day 14. Do I need to stop the turner now and go into lockdown or wait till tomorrow?? On day 15 need some advice ASAP !!!!!!!! This is my first hatch ever so am a little worried. Thanks Dave

Go into lockdown.

I agree. Raise that humidity! I have had quail hatches like this before. For some reason everyone wanted to hatch early.

Yes, lock down, up your humidity to about 65% or 70%. Open all vents wide and wait. Don't panic when you see pipping and they don't do anything for 24+ hours. They are busy absorbing the last of the egg yolk and detaching themselves from the inside of the shell. Just wait for them to hatch naturally.

Good luck with your hatch!
