Hi there

[Mombo]

Live in Sonoma, Ca. Have 8 button quail, 6 of which I hatched, as pets in backyard aviary. Incubating 13 eggs, set at day 14, today is Day 18. One hatched. Previously I had 75% hatch rate. Do you set at 14 days, temp 37.5/99.5? Using Joenelle 12

I only hatch with broody hens. Someone should be along shortly that can help.

Howdy, and Welcome to Backyard Chickens.

Happy to have you here with us. Enjoy your time here at BYC!

Button quail eggs have an incubation period of 16 days, give or take a day, due to 'hot' or 'cool' spots in the incubator. Humidity should be set around 40 to 45%Rh for 13 days, then raised to 50 to 60% for the final 3 or 4 days of the incubation period.
