Incubating quail eggs

[Kiki]

Don't mix Nutri-Drench with anything at this age. It would be best to give a undiluted drop of it.

I have another white one hatching today. I hope it is doing fine because I am not going to be home all day. Any suggestions on what I should do?

Make sure your humidity is good, then leave it alone until it hatches.

I was thinking about getting more quail eggs this coming spring because I like raising quail they are easier in my opinion to get to hatch than pheasants

Definitely not coturnix.

The all white egg babies didn’t make it

The speckeled eggs are either Gambel's or California Valley quail. From the pic I'd say they are Gambel's.
Here's some pics of Gambel's chicks and Valley chicks and the their eggs.

Could they be scale quail? Their eggs are white and brown?

Their eggs are off-white, cream color with light roan colored tiny 'freckles' over the entire egg.

I thought so, I was going to ask you if you had a pheasant chick in with them because the chick that's 'strutting' in the middle looks like a Ring-necked pheasant!

So I am freaking out my incubator has been fluctuating up to 106.0 degrees and I don’t know why. It started after I turned them for the second time today.

If it gets above or at 104°F for 1 hour, it has the potential to kill the embryos.

Do you have seperate calibrated thermometer(s) and a calibrated hygrometer? other than the ones that came with your machine? Most manufactures sensors are not reliable...not to be trusted.
