First time cotournix quail, lost incubator directions, is this okay?

[ManOverBoard]

Hello, hello!
This is our first time incubating quail eggs. We've done chickens in the past, but it's been a little while, and my little wee pirates age 8 and 4 ran off with my incubator directions. We've got thirty cotournix quail eggs in the incubator, we just put them in, we've checked the temp the incubator is running right, but we weren't able to find a hygrometer in town today, and our old one bit the bullet; we have to order one as we live in a isolated place. Meanwhile we've filled one of the five channels in the bottom tray of the incubator, and are going to keep an eye on air sacs; our house usually runs around 60 % humidity. Does anyone else know if one channel is good enough or not?
Also we ran out of dividers and ended up staggering the last tenon both ends. Is it okay to stagger the eggs like this? I would imagine they will roll against each other as it's a self rotating incubator, wouldn't that also happen under a hen?
Comments appreciated!

I assume you’ve had to turn them by now? Did it work?

It seems that they've all lined them selves up end to end on the two end slots but there's no gap between them. I'll take a picture.

Today some we're turned. Is it okay if eggs roll like this?

Number one rule is to never trust an incubator's reading for temp or humidity.
Get some of these:

I incubate quail eggs at 25% - 30% humidity.

The way the eggs get turned isn't too important as long as they are getting turned regularly.

Mark the eggs with an x on one side...so you can be sure they are actually moving.
Some of the eggs look to be in the same exact position in each of your two pictures.

Will do!
And thank you
Those meters look nice.
25 to 30 is a good bit less than the 55 to 60 ice heard goes for chickens and quail. Have you found it to be more successful?

I have perfect hatches with these numbers. Many times.

Awesome thank you! I'll lower the humidity and put X's on asap
