get an lg forced air or a hovabator. You can hatch lots of quail in these guys. shucks, I didn't even have the quail cups and was able to hatch buttons with the chicken cups

ps that was with a forced air something or other lol. styrofoam is all i know:)
 
get a styrofoam box (about $2 here) plug in bulb and light it on, keep it on 37,5 deg and 45% humidity (use thermohygro, i heard $8 in US), insert the eggs. add water jar filled on last three days and keep humidity higher than 65%.

congrats, you have a *baby*.

Any small incubator - LG or Hovabator or Brinsea or even the Lyon Turnx will hatch bunches of quail, with or without "quail" egg turners, or a turner at all, then you turn it... No big deal.

Or like Mulia said. Build your own - MissPrissy's is a nice foam cooler model, and Speckledhen's is a nicely done Mini-Fridge based incubator. Both work very well.

It's not rocket science. It does take some learning and some patience.

But really little kids have built bators that work. And many have made the lamp/lighbulb and box thing work just fine - I just find that low a level of tech annoying, I atleast want a thermostat.

Lots of options.
