quail eggs incubation???

[brandibaby23]

I have some quail eggs and I was wondering how long before they hatch what should the temp and humidity be and all that. Please and thank you gonna set them tonight!!!!

Temp is 99.5 for a forced air incubator and 100.5-102 for a still air incubator. they need a high humidity for the incubation around 50-60% until lockdown. Bobwhites take a little longer than coturnix. Bobwhites take 22-23 days, lockdown on day 20. Coturnix take 18 days and lockdown on day 15. Lockdown humidity is 80% for the last 3 days. Good luck.

Everything you need to know about quails. At least I hope so!

ETA: You would need to scroll down towards the middle of the thread to find the information about incubating coturnix eggs.

between 17 and 18 days. Can go as much as 20 days. Hope this helps!
