quail

[ronott1]

I have a hovabator. I put the eggs in at about 100 degrees Fahrenheit, and 45% humidity. I don't have an egg turner, so I do it manually. On day 15 I increase humidity to 60%

Should work fine!

anyone here hatch quail

I am just now learning to hatch. I looked online for affordable starter incubators with good reviews and settled on the Nurture Right 360. I got my first set of eggs in the mail today and according to some research I have done, I am letting them rest on the counter for 8-24 hours while I get my incubator "warmed up" (turned on and heat/ humidity adjusted for quail eggs). My only concern so far is the size of the egg tray, which is made for chicken eggs. I have been looking for an insert for smaller eggs, but so far, no bueno. I'm very excited. I know you probably wanted to hear from an experienced Hatcher, but I couldn't help myself as I am so psyched about this. I plan to post my results, unscientific as they are, just so the info is out there for others. Good luck with your eggs!

Um hi, this is not my own post, but I figured some of you would know the answer to my question. I'm hatching quail, and I'm confused about what to keep the humidity at on lockdown. Is it at 60-65% Or 65-70%???

 

[ronott1]

I see 65% in both of those ranges! Go with that for humidity.

Humidity goes up as they hatch due to the moisture on the quail

It's best to keep the humidity in the 60 to 65% range at hatch time. Too high humidity causes a whole other bunch of problems...like stuck chicks, drown chicks, etc.
