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.
Incubation time for Gambel quail eggs is 23-24 days, sometimes even 25-26. I use a 100 degree temperature and low 40's percent relative humidity. Constant humidity is critical. The eggs must be turned at least a couple times a day to keep the yoke from sticking to the shell.fter a few weeks in the brooder, move the quail to to some sort of grow out pen (the bigger the better) until they are six weeks old. After six weeks they are ready for an even larger space I move them to a flight pen at this point. The young birds and the adults have always gotten along really well.
