    Halfway through the incubating process and my five year old decided he had nothing better to play with, so he turned up the heat on the eggs. Temp got up to 113. Don't know how long it was there but worst case scenario, a couple of hours. 80 eggs down the drain.

    I hatched out a few chickens a few months ago with a home made incubator but it was a pain because I couldn't fit a turner in there. I recently bought a little giant incubator with turner and haven't had one problem with the temps. I also bought a digital thermometer/hygrometer from incubator...

    Are Does your incubator have a fan or is it still air?

    if you have hatched chickens, then you can hatch Quails with no problem. The temperature is the same the humidity is the same just turn them for 14 days. After the 14th day stop turning them, three days later you have Quails.

    Feel extremely fortunate today. After ordering 20 Coturnix eggs online and ending up with 14 due to bad shipping, I found a local farmer who GAVE me 65 eggs. GAVE as in he didn't charge me. And he's willing to buy the ones I can't keep!! Awesome!!! 79 eggs going in!!!

    Incubator and equipement questions

    I would go with 45+ eggs. Being your first time incubating and all, your hatch rate may be low. The first time I tried hatching I had a 25% hatch.
