Should I stop turning my button quail? It had just begun to wiggle in its shell but there are no pips, should I stop turning the eggs?
 
If you think they are rocking and it wasn't from bumping the table or incubator or anything, I would stop turning the eggs and increase the humidity if you haven't already. Usually they will start rocking and peeping when they are getting into the right position to hatch and they have internally pipped.

What day are they on?

For Buttons I believe you'd stop turning at day 13 or 14 and go into lockdown, you may want to look that up.

For Coturnix I usually stop turning around day 14 and start lockdown.

Luckily I have found out the day incubation started, the first day of incubation ended on November 11th.
 
Quail pips are ridiculously hard to see in coturnix, buttons are probably worse! You shouldn’t need to turn your eggs much after day 12, the chick can do it itself.
Okay thank you! I took out the turner tray and the little egg did not hesitate to move itself into its own position. It's about day 13 today and there are tiny wiggles in the egg.
