Same as chicken pretty much.
What incubator you using? Force-Air? Still-Air? If it's not a Preset, then check temp often. Need to turn egg atleast 3 times a day if you dont have an egg turner. Check humidity. Different quail may be different incubation period.

do exactly what you do with the chicken eggs and you will be fine.

make sure you keep an eye on the humidity and the temp.The best of luck with the eggs

Matt,

I just set 50 GA. giant eggs Tues evening. Dry bulb - 100 deg.F and wet bulb - 84-86 deg.F. Should put it about 60% humidity. Good luck with yours.
