Hatching cortunix quail eggs...

[Pet Duck Boy]

I've decided on ordering some cortunix quail eggs off ebay. Are they easily hatched? Right now I just found a seller shipping 6 eggs for about 16$, good deal? I only want a few as pets. And the seller only lives a couple hundred miles from me. What are the correct temperatures, and humidity for hatching cortunix eggs? How long does it take them to hatch? Are they hard to hatch? Out of 6 eggs, how many do you think will make it to adulthood? I don't want to end up with 1-2. Thanks.

6 eggs for $16.00 I would say way to high. incubation only takes 17 to 18 days. with shipped eggs you might get all to hatch or none. so you might only end up with 1 or 2.

Who do you suggest I buy from then?

try putting a call out on this forum to see if anyone in your area can sell you any eggs. The less distance they have to travel the more likely it is that they will hatch
