Quail incubation question

[AmericanDwarfChicken]

Hello BYC, I was was wondering if quail eggs will be fine incubating around 50-55% humidity? This is my first time using my incubator for quail eggs, other than having my quail hens hatch them. Thanks!

I dry hatch, and my humidity stays around 35%, when they start hatching the humidity jumps up.
I got to where I don’t pay much attention to humidity anymore, now temperature is crucial.
I have been having excellent hatches using this method.
I don’t open my incubator until lockdown, when I need to take the turner out, I candle just a few eggs just to see how they did.

Do you think I could switch to dry hatching as of now? My eggs are on day 4.

Yes

Okay, i’m letting the humidity drop now. I will post updates within the week and a half they have left.

I picked up the biggest quail egg that I ever seen this evening.
