New to hatching quail

[Lori J]

Any tips on incubating quail eggs? I have my incubator at 38.3 C and I’m doing dry hatching. I’ve hatched chicken eggs before, this is my first time to catch anything else!

This is what I give people when I sell them hatching eggs.

similar to chicken eggs on temps/humidity. just double check your temp calibration and salt testing of hygrometer. I keep my humidity around 35-45 first 14 days and increase it to 55-60 during lockdown. I get average of 75+% hatch rate of everything that I hatch regardless of incubator brand. brooder set-up is equally important IMO to incubator

I should have checked here before, because a poor source off the internet had me putting the temp at 38.3 centigrade! According to here, it should be 37.5. Turned it down, maybe it will be ok
