Incubating Button quail.

[Fancy Feather Poultry]

I am going to hatch button quail, I know the temperature, when
to stop turning, the humidity, but I dont know how many times
a day to rotate the eggs and what temperature I should set the
brooder for. Please somebody explain, I am used to hatching
chickens they are basicaly the same thing, but I just want to make
sure im doing things right.

Hi!
Buttons hatch well here with the same care as chicken eggs --- turn 3 times a day for Day 1 thru 14, then stop turning and increase humidity during the last 2 days of incubation.
(I think 16 days is right for Button Quail).

I use the same brooder temps as for quail chicks (95 degrees and gradually decreasing).

Good luck with your Buttons, they're darling little birds.

Merry Christmas!
