thanks jess turned out t be a rooster so i could not keep him but he went to a good home im really hoping most of these eggs that im hatching are hens i already have one rooster and i dont want two roos to be fighting all the time

So this is my third time incubating and i forgot what the humidity should be on a still air incubator when I put the eggs in it was at 70 and know it’s in the 60 is this ok

That's very high. The highest most people go during the pre-lockdown period is around 45%.

I think I might as well join. I'm getting button quail in a week, and they hatch quicker.

Thanks for joing and thanks for the info Welcome the the hatch a long how many eggs are you gonna be putting in the bator

Around 20 button quail eggs. I'm using a Farm innovators forced air. i'm running the humidity at around 50%, because I've read that quail eggs need much higher humidity than chickens.

I'll probably be setting in a couple of days. Just collecting some more eggs 1st.
Most of what I'll be hatching is buckeye. Maybe chantecler if I can find where they're hiding their eggs lol.
