1st Hatching Journey - Little Giant

I thought it was supposed to be 45-50% humidity at first, then 65-70% for lockdown.

That data/information is way out dated. Humidity during incubation should be around 30 to 40% and raised to 50 to 55% for the last 3 to 4 days of incubation, for Coturnix quail.

New World quail should be incubated at around 35 to 45% humidity and raised to 55 to 60% humidity for the last 3 to 4 days of incubation.

Going over 60% humidity will cause problems for the chick's, ie; stuck chick's, crooked toes.

Oh, thank you so much. Is it the same for button quail?

Oh, thank you so much. Is it the same for button quail?

Button quail like the higher humidity.

 

[007Sean]

I hatch buttons at the same humidity as I hatch new world quail.

I have perfect hatches with running it at 30% and only bumping it to 50 on hatch day.

 

[Kiki]

I hatch buttons at the same humidity as I hatch new world quail.

Me too.

Yes.
