Hatching Quail Eggs

[KingD]

Hello. I have a Brinsea Ovation 28 incubator. I've got 48 cortunix quail eggs on order for Friday this week. Just wondering, are there any modifications that I'll have to do to the incubator to make them hold quail eggs or will they be ok?

maybe get a quail-egg sized tray? Do you know the wet bulb/dry bulb temps for Coturnix?

If having eggs shipped, make sure to let them rest before incubating.

Excuse my ignorance but do you mean, stop turning the eggs on day 14? And change the humidity ect?
