First Time Hatching Button Quail... Advice?!?!?

[Birds4Eli]

Hello!

I am about to hatch button quail, but I have never done it before. I am an experienced coturnix hatcher, but is button quail any different? I'm used to: 99.5 f, 40-55%,or 15-35%.
Also, where do you recomend getting some budget-friendly hatching eggs?

I got my eggs from Etsy.

Great!

Thank you, and welcome to BYC!

I ran into a problem with my most recent hatch. Out of about 30 eggs that hatched, 20 of them were roosters. I have never had this happen before and I did not record my incubator conditions. Having said that, the readings/settings were no different than usual. Because of conditions where I live, it is hard to keep the humidity down @ 58% humidity levels required for much of the incubation. This is the second batch I have hatched at this location.

Oh, I forgot. I think your settings are pretty good. However, are you able to meet those conditions with your equipment throughout the hatching cycle? I firmly believe that humidity/pressure might be the two most important conditions. Temperature goes without saying.
