How many days to incubate button quail eggs?

[chicken_china_mom]

My daughter wants to try her hand at hatching out some button quail babies, mostly cause our chickens aren't laying well this winter, but out quail pair sure are! I was wondering how many days it takes, and is there anything different to do with their eggs as opposed to chicken eggs? She has 8 quail eggs and 2 chicken eggs that she is itching to get into the bator, but I thought I would inquire here first!

15 to 17 days hope this helps

you treat them just like chicken eggs and plan on a day 16 hatch so no turning after day 13 then plan on them just popping out when they feel like it day 15 to 18 most the time though I have had the bator running cool and had them hatch on day 21 best of luck to you

one should not talk and type lol

Thank you! She put the eggs in the incubator yesterday, before I had even realized that she had done it, so we'll stop turning them after day 13.
