Dry Incubation- A little scared...

[Griffin Nest]

I've read SO many articles about dry incubation in the past and i've done it twice before with chicken eggs and got nothing. I don't know if i was doing it wrong or what, i heard that dry incubation is a lot better.

I want to do it again because im going to hatch some quail soon, but im scared that it wont work. I've incubated quail in the past and got a 75% hatch rate with normal incubation humidity. Any advice on dry incubation???

I sometimes do dry but from what I have read on here I guess I didn't do it right. I did add a little water so I had it about 25% for the first 18 days. After that I only went up to 50% for the last 3 days. I get around 70 to 80%.

Yes you should. If it worked for you before there's no sense in waisting eggs. Do what you do best.
