Incubating old quail eggs?

In this case the English whites genes are recessive, so both parent birds had a copy of the gene in order to produce the phenotypic English white, which is usually a co-dominate gene.
Homogeneous = Eglish white
Heterogeneous = Tuxedo
but he had a Y mutation
 
That black dot on the head is a pretty good sign that they have the English white gene. That's why that colour mutation is also known as dotted white.
 
I have had eggs sitting on the counter for 5 weeks before I put them in the Incu-brooder©
first batch had a 12 of 18 (within 1 week)
second batch 11 of 18 (3 weeks old eggS)
third batch (5-week old eggs) 5 of 18
the 5 were not healthy tho .. died soon few days later (didn't eat or drink)
so yeah they hatch but not well...
