    Opinions/thoughts?

    Button quail incubating eggs

    Hey guys, I have some button quail eggs I’m trying to hatch. I have the incubator set at 99 and humidity stays between 45-50%. I’ve read that it is supposed to be either 99.5°-101.5° but my incubator does not do half degrees. Sorry, I’m not the most articulate or the most in order with my...
