I have actually never even hatched quail before, even alone. I have hatched chicks and I've hatched ducks, but the Last time was over a year ago so I'm kind of rusty. I am getting some silkie eggs from a local farm in a couple days when everything is set up, and the guy has an abundance of quail laying this year so he asked if I wanted some of those as well and said that I could hatch them together. They are just assorted coturnix quail. He has Japanese, Tibetan, Texas A&M, and tuxedo all together. Should I set either one earlier? Ideal temp and humidity to accommodate both? I will probably not be keeping the quail for too long as I don't know much about raising them and I already have everything set up outside with my chickens in it so I'll probably give them to a friend that has a few if they hatch. And this may sound dumb but what exactly is a hatcher? I know a lot of people put chicks in a separate hatcher for them to hatch? Should I put the chicks and/or quail in a separate hatcher.? And should they be in a separate brooder as well? Or can they be housed together? About how long until I could give the quail to someone and remove them from the brooder?
Sorry for all the questions, I'm just new at this.
