I figured you all could tell me what a good hatch rate for coturnix quail is. My first group hatched 7 of 12. This group looks like 6 of 12. My own birds are laying the eggs, so I'm putting in fresh eggs each time. I have 1 male with 3 females and 2 males with 4 females.

Thanks. I've got 7 chicks now. Still, 7 of 12 seems not great. The incubator usually has great hatch rates if the eggs are good (up to 100%). I'm setting the temperature at 99.5F -- it's a Brinsea Mini with forced air and automatic turner.
