all who are hatching quail
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
Sounds pretty awesome. I recently built mine. Here's a pic of it... It is 2'x4' and I currently have 5 birds in it. A male and 4 females. They have tons of space. Good luck and have fun!!! -
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. -

Show me your quail pens!!!
Here is my first crack at keeping quail. Pen is made from 2x2's and 1x2's. 4 feet long x 2 feet wide. Still have to add plywood to the left side so they can have a hiding spot. Roof is coming too. I hope to drill it to my wooden fence on the side of my house. -
Building a quail cage!!!
Almost done. Just need to add some plywood on the sides to give them a sheltered hiding spot and the roof. -
Building a quail cage!!!
Decided to keep quail since they require much less space. So, I'm giving this a shot. It'll be 4 feet long by 2 feet wide. Plenty of room for 5 females and one male. Japanese quail that is.
