Any tips on hatching eggs?

[Alpine Bobwhite]

We have some quail eggs that we would like to incubate and hatch. They are all from the quails that we have in the garden and so might not be fertile. They are all in an Osindii egg incubator and are upright, pointy end down - wondering they need to be turned. Also just give any tips on eggs.

Spoiler: Questions about Incubation

If eggs need to be turned if upright?
If the temp needs to be turned down closer to hatching time?
Any good chick feed?
If quails can mother chicks if they did not hatch them?
Anything else about eggs?

Yes they need to be turned however they are placed- otherwise the embryo can get stuck.
if quails are not broody they are unlikely to take to chicks. If they’ve been sitting on eggs they may take to them but even at that they may not.
