These ladies will be able to give you hints and tips. Also have you checked out the Quail hatch-a-long thread?

Button eggs in my experience do best at around 50% humidity during incubation, going up to 60-65% at pip. Other than that, here is what I give customers who buy hatching eggs from me.

What incubator are you using?? have you hatched anything in it previously? do you have calibrated thermometers and salt-tested hygrometers? were the eggs shipped or local pick-up?

The only problem Ihave is the humidity only goes to 45% or 60% so what is best do you think ? There in a room with no radiator just a normal room temp,
Thank you

They wouldn't stand properly and now they're all on their sides is that ok ?
