all who are hatching quail

[salsan20]

Nothing here either, and its day 20 in three hours for japanese quail so also 3 days late. Could put a fan in although I wanted to keep it fairly simple design as the intention (admittedly I may get hooked though so it may change!) is to hatch 4 plain jap for me then sell or process the remaining ones from that hatch (dog is raw fed so if I cant find them homes she wouldnt say no bones and all), and then tweak conditions for a better hatch rate and hatch 6 more interesting colours like tuxedos or golden giants and that would be my total flock.

How do you recalibrate?

Salsan, its easier for you to google it than for me to type out the whole instructions,

Google "center point" method, and hit me up if you have trouble. -QJ

Coturnix & bobwhites have different hatch timelines. So if you don't have a separate hatcher you'll need to set the bobwhites first. Bobwhites take 20-23days & Coturnix take 16-19days. Temp I would say 99.5º to 100.4º and humidity between 45% & 55%. Now this is just what I gathered from research I've done. They're are tons of people on here that could answer your questions better. You may just try another thread.

I have 84 eggs on the turner in the incubator I'm nervous on taking them off the turner because its in the lower 70's outside. Do I take the turner all the way out.....do I need to hurry?
