Incubating quail eggs

[Pepperdaddy 1]

So I got quail eggs that were supposed to be fertile but I am not sure if they are because when I candled them to see they didn’t have an air sack like my chicken eggs normally do any suggestions?

That far out of the egg with the yolk not being absorbed, is not likely to survive.

Bobwhites have an incubation period of 23 - 26 days...23 - 24 days being the normal incubation time. Mine usually pip on day 23 and hatch on day 24, due to the .5°F increase over the standard temp of 99.5°F
I set my incubators at 100°F because that is where they are the most stable, at 99.5°F, they fluctuate too much. I set the humidity at 43% Rh for 21days, I raise it to 55 - 60% for the last 3 to 4 days of the incubation period....some peeps call it the 'lockdown' period but I do not because it's really just a phase/process in the incubation period that occurs 3 to 4 days before hatching.

The white color variation of the Bob's are Texas A&M Bobwhites, because they were bred and developed at A&M by one of the professors/researchers at A&M.

Good Luck with your hatch!

Sorry to say but only a couple minutes ago the baby took its last breath

I candled the quail eggs today there are 22 that have made it and the embryo is moving up and down when I candle them I started crying to see how much they have progressed since day one

So I put these pheasant eggs in my bator because they were just thrown on me by a friend who couldn’t take them anymore so they are fertile and I marked the calendar and they are supposed to hatch 9 days after my quail what should I do should I put them in the same brooder or a separate one

Definitely a separate brooder. I can imagine the size difference would be significant, and they might not interact well, even as chicks.

So Wednesday was day 18 and I candled all my eggs and my one quail egg has 2 babies in it what should I do.

They have crests it seems, so some type of new world Quail. The head markings look sort of like mearns, but mearns are usually very pricey. @007Sean might know.
