Coturnix Quail Chicks Hatching

Coturnix Quail Chicks Hatching
Day 1-15, 55% Humidity and 99.5° Temperature
Day 16-18, 65% Humidty and 99.5° Temperature

During hatching, the humidity did rise to around 80% at one point and I attribute this to too many wet baby chicks for that size incubator.

We had a large number of these eggs under a broody Silkie hen in our chicken coop. They all developed well and were hatching out at the same time as the incubator. We had a small issue with our chicken rooster attacking one of the baby quail our Silkie hen was hatching, so we had to move those eggs into the incubator during lockdown (overcrowding the incubator). Those eggs hatched fine and the quail chick that was almost eaten by the rooster is doing great!

Too many eggs for our incubator, but it still worked out well. 20 of 30 hatched on Day 18 and more are still chirping and working their way out on Day 19.
