Hygrometers and coturnix?

[calcifer]

Hi if I only have $22 to spend on a thermometer/hygrometer for my incubator what would you recommend and were can I buy it? How long will coturnix quail hens lay eggs and how long will they live? If I want about 10 eggs a day how many hens do I need and how often do I need to replenish my flock?

I bought one in the reptile department of Petco. Petsmart probably has them too.

This one from Amazon should work well. Or any of their dual function units. They'll all be within 1 degree F accuracy so you may want to compare / calibrate the temperature with a reliable thermometer and go from there. Good luck.
