I got 57 quail eggs in a hova- bator the temp is running between 100 and 101. The right temp is supposed to be 101.5 is what i recall. The humidity is supposed to be between 50 and 60%. When they hatch I should raise to 70 to 80% humidity. They hatch in 23 days. I wanted to know if I should quit turning them the last 3 days. Im new to this I wanted to make sure that I was right thanks to anyone that can help.

is it a stilll air incubator or does it have a fan?if it is still air i run mine at 100 deg.if it has a fan you should run it at 99.5.i would keep the humidity at 60 during incubation and 80 during hatching.

It doesnt have a fan its a still air I got it on 100 degrees. On the 20th day should I quit turning eggs? That is around the same time I increase humidity? Thanks

yep stop turning them on the 20th day.if you have a automatic egg turner take them out of there and lay them flat.also increase the humidity on the 20th day to around 80.
