Title: Hatching?
Post by: marvinmckenzie on May 14, 2008, 01:24:44 PM

My first coturnix eggs have been in the incubator 18 days today. Should I see something happening yet? How long should I wait until I know the eggs did not work out?

What kind of incubator?
What was the temp?
If temp was low it could take a day or two longer than normal.

I have coturnix eggs in the bator now too, day 17, so i should start to see pipping later and hatching sometime tomorrow. Give them some more time, they'll be fine.  I'll post  pictures of my hatch maybe tomorrow. Good luck with your hatch marvinmckenzie!!
