60% Rh is too high for the incubation period. If they are Coturnix eggs, they should be incubated at 30%Rh, if they are Bobwhite or other 'new world' quail eggs they should be incubated at 40 to 45% Rh.
The final 3 days of the incubation process, you should have the humidity level at 50 to 60%Rh. Coturnix do better at 50%Rh.
Good luck.with your hatch.

Thank you for the info, have got the incubator running at 35% h. atm. I am trying to hatch my own eggs this time. They are all Coturnix , I have a mixture of colours so will see how it goes.

Well i got my humidity sorted out, it was a bit hard as i have one of those cheap incubators, so just kept a close watch on it. My first quail has just hatched out, and am now waiting for more ... here's hoping ( 5 to go ) lol
