Those look like coturnix eggs. The first one you took a picture of was not uncommon, but not completely typical.

Honestly I think they look like coturnix quail eggs.

OK. I didn't know their could be such variations in the different quail eggs.

Yes, Coturnix, I would say so, either.

So please read the articles posted by @Nabiki , they explain the most. Especially for hatching, as this is the first step.

Also start now to order propper feed, as you need to have it when they hatch. It is 18 days for hatching. Delivery takes more time in Corona days!!!

Just to make sure I read right, quail require different settings then the silky eggs that are currently in out incubator. Temp is at 99 degrees, humidity just above 50℅

Different settings and especially different timing.

I can only recommend the articles from Nabiki again:

Here are a couple of articles that I've written that might help you.

I've already read them. I was just confirming that I read them right.

Many of us on the quail board have no idea what the conditions for incubating other birds are. But Nabiki’s articles are accurate. You will want to follow them, and if they differ from your silkies, you should probably incubate them separately.
