First timer with quails

[Chicken queen xx]

Hello I have recently just purchased some king quail eggs it’s my first time with the breed and could use some info and advice on the breed and what’s best living requirements for them

They like higher humidity than coturnix eggs. Keep the humidity around 50% then up to around 70% at lockdown.
They are not very cold hardy, so you want to keep them indoors or in a heated aviary if it gets below 50 farenheit in your area.

Here's an article that might help. It's for coturnix, but everything is same except for the humidity.

Do quails need to be vaccinated if they live indoors and are hatched from egg

No, I wouldn't see why you would need to.

This is not related to quail but I have six sebright eggs due to hatch today and I candled them it looks like only 2 have anything should I crack the four that don’t look like they have anything in ?

You could wait a few days to see if they hatch first, unless you're sure there's nothing there in which case feel free to crack them and do an egg-autopsy

Already done four weren’t fertile and the other 2 were deformed and dead no idea why this happens but
