Chicken eggs + 1 Quail egg help!

[Lilmermaid9109]

Hello! I am new here, and I am also new to incubating eggs. I am on day 18 of incubation and need some help/ advice. I have 15 chicken eggs and 1 quail egg in my incubator and have been hand turning them 3 to 4 times a day. The last time I turned them was last night.

Problem #1: My humidity reader has stopped working, so I have no way of knowing what the humidity is at. While it was working (through the majority of the incubation period) it was sitting at 49% with all the reservoirs full. So I have added a couple pieces of wet sponge to increase the percentage, though I have no way of knowing if this will be enough. Any other suggestions for increasing the humidity?

Problem #2: I have 1 quail egg in with the chicken eggs and I completely forgot to stop turning it on day 14. Instead, it was turned all the way through day 17. Am I right to assume that this will delay its hatch day? Will it most likely hatch tomorrow? Or with the chicken eggs?


Thanks in advance!

Why do you only have one quail egg? If it hatches it will be all alone since it can't be put with chicken chicks.

It will still hatch tomorrow or the next day.
