Incubator help?

[Celeste Cannon]

Hello, I have found some quail eggs to hatch
and won’t get them for a while so I thought now would be a good time to learn some more about my incubator. To hatch my quail eggs I’ll be using the mini echo ii, a small manual incubator. I know not having a turner involves moving the eggs 4 to 5 times a day myself, which I will be able to do. I’m very nervous about hatching (and owning quails) for the first time. If anyone has any tips on this incubator it would be greatly appreciated, I want to be as well prepared as possible.

Another thing, it’s possible that I might hatch out too many for my keeping so if anyone is near the Los Angeles and would like some quails let me know. I am getting an interesting variety of Coturnix quails. I’ll attach some images.

Turn either 3 or 5 times a day, always should be an odd number so embryos don't lay on the same side several nights in a row. They will adhere to the shell, and then you'll have a mess. I am not near you, and I don't have that incubator so that's all I can offer good luck with your hatch! Oh, get a calibrated thermometer/hygrometer.
