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.
Do not turn quail eggs after the 14th day of incubation. Japanese quail eggs will generally hatch on the 17th day of incubation, but hatch can take place as early as the 14th day and as late as the 19th day.This difference in quail incubation period is not yet scientifically understood.After every hatch, the incubator should be cleaned, disinfected and fumigated.he incubation time needed for fertile eggs is shorter (14-17 days) compared to Bobwhite quail eggs (23 days). Coturnix may start laying eggs as early as 6 weeks of age compared to 16 weeks for the Bobwhite.
