Hatch day northern bobwhite quail?

[Bluemonster107]

I am a little puzzled… the place I received one set of northern bobwhite quail eggs from said hatch day in 18 days? That doesn’t seem correct. I thought they were a 21 day hatch? Do you think they meant lock down at 18 days? Just want to confirm with others more familiar.

Incubation period for northern bobwhites is 23-24 days.

As @Huntmaster said, 23 to 25 days, most will hatch on day 24.
