New Button Quail

[Jenlyn9483]

I just got a trio of my first buttons from Kellyhm and she also gave me 8 eggs. I put the eggs in the bator and realized i'm not 100% sure how many days to incubate these babies. I know that my Pharoah and Brown Contournix take 16 days. Is it the same? Need some advice on hatching these eggs, I want some more of these babies!

Yeppers it's 16, however for coturnix they can hatch as late as 18 days (some hatch at 15-16-others take the full 18 days to hatch). Buttons should be hatched at 16 days. Stop turning atleast 3 days before their due date---i normally stop turning at 4 days though but that's me. Humidity all breeders will agree to disagree that different things work better for them. Some say higher humidity, others do the dry method and then up it when they stop turning.
