So, I have learned in the last 12 hours that there is a bit of a learning curve with quail. They are definately not chickens!!!! They are mathematical wizards of escaping unimaginably small spaces and smacking their tiny heads. I cannot believe they didn't get out in the airport and run amuk on them because it was the first thing they did here despite all of my very careful preparations and cautious box opening. They are beautiful and make the coolest sounds. Anyway, any advice for the quail novice?

*drools*
Wannnnnttt.

Also kinda wish I would have bought that other incubator or spring for a bigger one.

Turn around and resell it as "almost new" and buy a bigger one. You could always check Craigslist.

A three-egg incubator (IMO) is a waste of money and time.

If you get eggs shipped all the way to Alaska, and only have room for 3 or 4 eggs, there is a huge chance that you will not get any chicks. A Little Giant is only around $35-$45, and it will hold about 40 chicken eggs. I have 25 duck and goose eggs (only 3 are ducks), which are HUGE in mine and still have room for a few more. It is a little tricky to figure out, but I have gotten pretty good hatches with mine.

With the 40-50% hatch rate on shipped eggs you are likely to hatch just 1 lonely chick....not good

Here is one for you: http://fairbanks.craigslist.org/grd/3638798714.html

They have some more expensive ones, but they also have several styrofoam incubators for $20. I am not an enabler..........
