I would keep it at about 40 to 50 % throughout the incubation if you are in area where the humidity is higher or around this you may not have to add any water and just let things happen. You may want to go as high as 55% in the last 2 days but its not needed, less is better.

The humidity during incubation should be between 55% and 60%. At lock down, get the humidity up to 70% to 75%.

Hey two crows just wondering if you have ever raised or hatched valley, Gambles or Blue Scaled quail before?

 

[TwoCrows]

Indeed I have...have hatched Valley and Gambels. Never have I tried Bluescale.

Thanks but this is why i get confused

Well, then do like I do when no one will give me a definitive answer....split the difference. Set your humidity somewhere half way between 40% and 60%.

i think i ruined all i had a power loss in the house for 30 minutes i set the eggs yesterday do u think i shoul keep going ??

 

[TwoCrows]

30 min power outage is nothing. The mass inside of an egg will keep the embryo warm for quite a long time. Some eggs can even take 24 hours of going cold. Keep the bator running, you will be fine.
