Incubating quail eggs

[Pepperdaddy 1]

I have a thermometer that is used for taking temps and I put it in there and it read 100.0 degrees

I'd never trust the thermometer on the incubator. I've read that those are the most accurate.

Good luck

Buy a incutherm for 20 bucks off incubator warehouse or Amazon. I use the ones with the probes. Never trust the supplied instruments on a bator.

Ok so I just candled all 23 eggs and one of the white one has a blood ring is that fine or should I be worried

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?

Freshly laid eggs don't have big air cells.

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
