Brinsea mini advance jumbo coturnix quail settings?

[chicken1234]

I'm sorry if this is posted someplace already but I can't find it. I just got my new incubator a brinsea mini advance with turner and I have never hatched before. I'm getting jumbo coturnix quail eggs soon and I need to set the incubator settings.
I need:
-Temperature? (99.5f-101f?)
-How often to set the egg turner and what angle?
-do I use the cooling feature?
-do jumbo coturnix fit the quail insert ok or are they too big?
- do I fill half the water reservoir at the start and just make sure it is topped up? Increase at day 14?

I am finding lots of info for chickens but can't seem to find settings for quail with this specific incubator. Thank you for your help!

Hello I'm new to all this but my settings are 17 days 99.6 I filled only one chamber setting 4 and 45 I'm not using the cooler! Good luck I just set my eggs today!

Okay so after more reading I decided to change the settings to 5 and 120. A few people said they've had great hatch rates with these turner settings.

Just saw your post! I hope I didn't mess up but I just went with the brinsea directions.I set temperature to 100F, I have the turner set at 60 minutes, cooling for two hrs per day and angle is 4. I filled the reservoir half full and have had to top it up pretty regularly. I will shut the cooling off and the turner off on day 14 and fill both sides of the water reservoir, add a mat after removing the turning tray. Mine are due to hatch this weekend. Fingers crossed. I found so many different opinions on what settings to use!

Just to update. I had 12/12 hatch yesterday, one was assisted but the rest had zero issues. Very happy with this incubator.

I'm still waiting for mine to hatch!!! Today is day 17 so I'm hoping something happens soon!!! I'll go with your settings next time! What day did they hatch?
