1st time hatching quail...
We currently have 3 sets in our Sportsman incubator. We put them in 1 week apart from each other. The 1st set (53 eggs) was put in the hatcher on day 15 and the humidity was increased from 45% to 70%. The 1st ones started hatching on day 16. On days 16 and 17, we had 17 hatch. We removed them from the incubator and put them into the brooder. It is now day 18, and only 4 hatched today. There are a few that have pipped, and are zipping.
My question is...how long can we leave the humidity up without causing harm to the other 2 sets?
