Anyone hatching quail?

[Jyeagersgrl]

I’ve never hatched anything but got an offer for a cheap incubator and eggs for $20 so I said sure why not. I’m not holding my breath as it’s literally a plastic bowl with a lid, a lightbulb and aluminum foil.... but figure if we get something great if not it was a learning experience. We currently have 2 ducks and 4 chicks from TSC and then 3 hens and 2 ducks that are about 2 years old I believe.

The incubator will work best in a room where temperature and humidity stay constant as they are prone to have internal changes if the outside environment changes. If the room it's in is too hot or too cold, it is likely the incubator will be too hot or too cold. Good luck!

Yes I am hatching quail eggs from a 7 dollar incubator keep the humidity so that there is no massive amounts of fog on the walls of the incubator if so wipe it down with a cloth keep the temperature 100.0 so the eggs near the edge get heat if all are warm and well wait till the 15 day and turn the humidity up a lot and Then leave them in the incubator until they dry then take care of them as a chick I think you know how to do that.
