Good luck! I have three chicken eggs in the incbuator. It's too early for signs with them, but if they were old enough to think I bet they'd be rooting for all your eggs as much as I am!

I am here right now at my father's house he has 135 quail eggs and his incubator is the a little giant with no fan so I think that's a still incubator I'm putting it in what's the temperature and the humidity should be put on cuz I know they run different does anybody know help

Okay don't worry I just took a deep breather I got home I'm going to go buy a fan Tomorrow for the incubator and everything's going to be fine. Sorry for the freak out.

Oh I'm sorry! I missed this post. For a still air, 102 degrees Fahrenheit and around 40% humidity for quail.

So if it doesn't have a fan that means it's a still air and it's a little giant and it said something about unplugging the red plugs that are on top I don't know and I couldn't get the humidity low enough. Should I just go out and buy the fan for it or do you think it'll be okay without the fan

Now three days before hatch day we up the humidity like we would do at the regular incubator to 70 and still keep it at 102

Yes. No fan = still air = incubate at 102F
Fan = forced air = incubate at 99.5F
Are the little red plugs air vents? Can you post a pic? I've never used a Little Giant before. You can do the fan of you want. The little handheld ones that plug in with a USB seem good.

Yes. But I would up it 65% instead at lockdown, and then once they externally pip, up it to 70%.

I'm so sorry to bother you MGG.

You're not bothering me!!! I just have been busier than usual lately, so I haven't been on quite as much.
