Jan 09, 2011, 8:46 PM. Hi. My husband and I are planning our summer vacation which will be mid to late September and we are thinking about Wisconsin or Missouri. We kind of know how Missouri weather is in september but have no idea of Wisconsin.
Egg Turning. Quail incubation periods vary by species. Bobwhite hatch in 23 to 24 days, Coturnix in just 17, for example. Eggs need to be placed in the incubator with the large end slightly elevated. Then, the egg needs to be turned on its axis five to seven times per day.umidity. The humidity in the incubator needs to be maintained between 55% and 60% relative humidity. The development of the embryo relies on liquid in the egg evaporating over the incubation period. Too much humidity and the albumen will not dry sufficiently and the developing chick will drown.
And because of the small size of quail eggs, you should be sure to have a special quail-size rack or quail-size cups for the automatic turner in your incubator. Incubation Time: Valley Quail Hatching Eggs will hatch in about 20-23 days. Temperature/Humidity: Valley Quail Hatching Eggs will hatch best if incubated at 100 degrees F, decreasing to 98.5 degrees F during the final three days of incubation. Humidity should be kept at 50% until day 19, when it should be raised to 60-65% until the chicks hatch. Turning the eggs 3 times a day for the first 19 days is a solid practice. After day 19, stop turning the eggs. Special Incubation Notes: Start up your incubator 2-3 days before your eggs are due to arrive.
