Chinese Quail - Hatching eggs in incubator?

[~goingcluckcrazy~]

Well my 2 chinese quail (1 male 1 female) , the hen has laid 3 eggs

will she sit on them? or should I remove them and incubate them? And do they take 17-18 days? And what are peoples experience with raising them?

Chinese Quail are Cbbq (Chinese Blue Breasted) quail to be more correct

But if you leave the eggs in the cage, the hen may incubate them for you

If you remove them and incubate them, incubation is 16 days. Information are in the stickies. I love them but that is my opinion.

I just hatched some in a bator as chinese are useless at getting broody in my experience. Mine took 18 days to hatch and are now 4 days old. They are like bumblebees with legs!

Incubation is 16 days but if the temp is off it can take longer. 99.5 in circulated air and 100-101 in still air (Faranheight)

Take off turner (stop turning) at 13 days (3 days before hatch)

Humidity 50-60% throughout incubation and hatching.

I might try incubating theese ones. Need to adjust the turners as they fit chicken eggs not quail. Thank you!!
