Well I have 14 quail chicks and hopefully it will be 16 in a few hours time. They are all silver Chinese painted, which were slightly late hatching. I have been away during the week at work, so when I came home tonight, I checked through the eggs that were left in the incubator, expecting to hear nothing, and as the eggs were due last Wednesday, to turn it off.
To my surprise and great excitement I found two more pipping, so topped up the water, and I hope they will be out in the morning.
I will try to take some photos tomorrow and will post an update on the situation! Fingers crossed!!

sounds good, hop they al hatched well, hope also your incubator is working again :)

Hi Drew.
Yes that one was a successful hatch a fair while ago now.

I got my incubator back fixed the other day. So just need to fill it up again, hopefully on Monday, lol.

oh good im glad, i hope it all goes well in the future for you

Hey I have never hatch quail before and i have a still air incubator i wanted to know if i could do it with that type and of i could get some tips i was thinking about hatching jumbo bobwhite Thanks

I have a still air incubator and there fine for hatching Quail.

I would like to know what the best type of incubator(preferably a brinsea one, automatic) for hatching out quails, chickens, pheasants, and partridges.

Hi Honeylushbubbles.
Nice to see you posting in the Forums.

I used an Octagon 20, which had fully automatic turning but was one of the older models. I had really great results using this for Quail and have heard extremely good things about them. As for other birds in the Octagon I personally have not had any experience but I know people who have found the Octagons very good for chickens.
Hope that is of some help to you.

Regards,
Jamie.

Thanks PoultryTalk,
But which kind of Octagon 20? because there is a range of octagon 20's at my local farm shop, and the sales person wasn't at all helpful.
