Button Quail Incubation - Still Air - Correct Temp & Humidity???

[Jeepers-Peepers]

Well, although I LOVE Google- I cannot decide what to set my button quail eggs at for incubation.

There is too many variances for humidity and temp that I don't know WHAT the RIGHT technique is. Some sites said 100, 101 and 102 F for still airs and some sites said 40%, 50% and 60%-65% humidity before lockdown and lockdown at 65%, 75% and 80%....

OMG - at least chicken egg incubation was pretty consistent across the board when I searched the how to's.

Can ya'll give me some recommendations here?

Still air is really garbage, sorry. Add the pc fan. It's cheap and easy to do on your own. Still air and turning is also an added difficulty. I run my quail eggs at 101-102 in forced air. I'm sure it will be higher in still air. Not a risk I'd be comfortable making.

THANK YOU!
I will be adding a fan soon!

Still air really IS garbage- I agree. I had the incubator set up for 24 hours regulated at 102 F - set eggs last night - went back to 102 F after the initial drop and was level. Woke up and it had spiked up ;-( 3rd time now with eggs and it does it EVERY time. Really thought I perfected the vents this time but NOPE. I used a laser temp gauge for surface areas immediately after and each egg was reading almost a 10 degree difference - 90-100 degrees, so there is definitely no uniformity in there and proves just how crappy still air is!

Last time I will be messing with still- going to try and get a fan in there this weekend.
