I currently have quail due to hatch anywhere from today to Sunday, and chicken eggs that are a few days late and just started actively hatching today. I think you should be fine, though I still need to see how my own personal experience works out;.

I am pretty sure all the button quail eggs were fertile, since I kept an infertile one in hand for comparison when I was candling

Is it ok to put a Quail egg into a Chicken Egg incubator

What I do is put the guineas in first with the turkeys, then the chicken eggs and lastly the quail eggs---wha-la! They all hatch about the same time! Terri O

whats the temperature if a quail egg is put in a chicken egg incubator?

quail, chicken, guinea, turkey, goose, duck. and just about any barnyard bird is 99.5 F..
some just incubate longer than others.. they all go into lockdown for the last 3 days..
