help! Quail incubation problem

[Crest Acres Girl]

I woke up really late today and it got so hot inside the house...the incubator went up to 103.7 degrees and the humidity fell to 16% I dont know how long they were at that but I dont any vains on most of the coturnix quail eggs

Im so bummed. ...well I dont even know if they were fertile, when I got them 50% of the eggs was crushed so..hopfully something hatch right?

i thought the temp is suppose to be stabled at 99 degree? I remember you said you used a fan

so humidity prob got down faster then ususal...never hatched quail so I dont know

 

[Crest Acres Girl]

just scared the eggs wont do well nemore

 

[Bleenstar]

might need to wait until the quail masters wake up hahah

 

[Crest Acres Girl]

yah I guess i'll wait...

Ok I read up on some stuff for ya...I hear people have bad hatch rates when humidity goes too low..How many days into your incubation?

 

[Crest Acres Girl]

about 6 days in....

 

[Bleenstar]

ok, dont give up hope yet, just make sure the temp is right and humidity is good for the next 10 days and you should have at least some hatch
