Incubatingand Hatching

[jbarrett]

is it hard to incubate and hatch coturnix quail eggs I do not have aa gadget to read the humidity and there is just a tray to put water in and it says to keep it full in the book...but I was just wondering if they are harder to hatch than chicken eggs, I am pretty good with chicken eggs had about 90% out of last hatch!
the quail are brown coturnix texas am and have pharoh and italian coturnix coming in next week and i do know how to turn this italics off sry i will have my younger brother fix it!

Quail are more sensitive to improper heat and humidity, and require higher humidity during incubation and lock down than chickens. I would suggest getting a small hydrometer you can put in the incubator.
