Quail hatching times

[Citrus17]

Hi,
I've got two batches of quail eggs in my incubator and the first (purple marked) batch is due to hatch wednesday but the second (blue marked) batch are due for the first day of lockdown then. Does anyone know what i can do about the humidity? At the moment it's around 50% but for lockdown it should be 60-70% but because of the different hatch dates i'm a bit confused of what to do

, please help! and any advice given will be heavily appreciated!

P.S they are chinese painted quail if you want to know.

I would say watch for your 1st pip & raise humidity then. That way you are holding off as long as possible for the sake of batch #2 but still getting it up for batch #1. That's how I run my staggered hatches on chicks & ducks. Haven't done quail yet

Hi, Thanks a lot for you advice, i'm going to try it!
I am also worried about something else. Talk about a first timer! I read somewhere that you finish turning the eggs on a certain date but now i've just read that i stopped tuening them a day too early. Do you think it will matter? sorry about bugging you, just wondered if you knew!

They should be fine. A day or 2 won't hurt anything.
