new to quail

[Smiles]

I looked at the incubator when I got home this evening and no there are five holes
that are not plugged ( i guess this is where the fan would go). I put tape over the holes, do you think that the last 24 days were wasted?

Only more time will tell.  Had you ever candled any of the eggs?

Never candled eggs before, but one hatched out last night about 1:00 and as of now at 742 am about 15 hatched and still popping out.

After I put the tape over the five holes the windows started building moisture, I don't no if it helped or not, I could just be impatient. ( very possible)

Sounds good.  Although I don't know how many eggs that you were incubating, hopefully most of them will hatch.

I had 110 in the incubator and all but about 20 have hatched. They are still hatching but seem to be slowing down. I have not lost but one so I am very pleased and hope that the good luck keeps up.

The ones that I moved to my brooder started eating and drinking right away.

Be sure to drown proof your waterer.  I use marbles to keep them from falling in.  They peck in between them to get their drink.
