all who are hatching quail

I didn't have temp spikes on them. If it raised it would hit 100-102 in my incubator with a fan. My first batch was in a still air & yes I had spikes with it. But they didn't have any problems once hatched.

I incubated my quail in a forced air at 99-99.5

I'm also hatching my first batch of eggs. Well first in a long time. My brother and I raised quail about 10 years ago but he hatched them at his house and I had the grow out pens. They are on day 4 wish me luck.

someone loaned me a still air incubator, it has the auto egg rotator thing i have got it up to temp but my humidity is at 35%
theres nowhere to sit a cup of water or sponge as the turner covers the whole thing what do you use to raise humidity?


Thanks John

Can you put a tray underneath the turner?

I think your temperature is getting too high (splay leg and crooked feet). I'm having the same problems with some ducks I just hatched and my a/c broke during incubation, so it got HOT up there.

Thank you for the link. It has helped us a lot.

this post and the post by quailjailer got me to looking ( i guess i just brought it home and plugged it in i looked for a hole to add water and saw a weird hole i jst figured was a frsh air hole before just bigger, so i took the top off and pulled the turner out (i didnt take the turner out before) and there is a couple little channels so i filled them with water an see what happens


thanks for the posts everyone
