Chinese Painted Quail incubation newcomer..Humidity??

[Moorat]

Hey BYC peoples

I've finally gotten to begin my hatching journey with button quails, iv always wanted to since I had a blue pair when I was little and iv hatched a few chickens and ducks in the last few months with my Brinsea incubator so i think quails are a must hehe Just wanted to know though cause I keep reading different things about button quail Humidity- Iv read something someone posted about how you shouldnt provide any humidity til day 14 and then crank it up in lockdown, someone else said that it should be low like 30% til lockdown and others say 60%..
Im so confused

So thought I should post and ask people with experience with button quails and hear what worked the most for you guys
At the moment its day 2 and my humiditys been ranging from 50-60%

50-60% humidity is ideal for button eggs. I don't increase humidity at lockdown for these little guys. They pop out like popcorn

Keep us updated Moorat!

You may want to start calling them Chinese Blue Breasted Quail rather than Chinese Painted Quail...The Chinese Painted quail was a coined name back when people had no clue about their history. Now that they are being researched in detail, it is better to call them right
