today is the first day of incubating my 35 golden coturnix quail eggs starting tonight. Any tips?

I’ve incubated quail a few times, I treated them the same as chicken eggs. I just cannot believe how small they are! It never ceases to amaze me. Good luck.

ETA: Grammar.

My incubator is messed up and my thermometers are messed up how do I fix this? I think the digital thermometer is the one that is broken. Should I take it out?

I’m no good with incubators and I’m not sure who to tag who is good with them. You may get best responses if you start a new thread?

How old is the 2nd thermometer? You can't calibrate unfortunately. I'd buy a new one and match it to the incubator one before putting the eggs in

I have what appears to be the same AcuRite thermometer/hygrometer. I don't put it in incubators anymore. I have found this to be much more accurate, ThermoPro TP50 Digital Hygrometer Indoor Thermometer Humidity Monitor. I got one off of ebay for under $13.
