i normally float mine straight under the feeder waiting whicg laid at the same time ? if you are going to keep them out and turn them remember as every day passes the likely hood of hatching decreases

best to keep them in a cool place (not in a fridge)they will stay fertile upto 4-5 days ..but only if the eggs were removed same morning they laid them...if they have sat a day or two forget it as the embryo would have started to grow...germinate if you like!

i know when i was hatching quail 3 times was better than 2 and most books on this recomend turning an odd number of times

what i have done befoe now with quail and bantems is put them in the incubator, put the auto turning on but keep the heat off.

i had eggs in the coubard for 3 weeks last year and when mine layed i took a chance and put them under a pair of stuffers and they hatched i never turned mine at all

just remove them and sit them in a spare box in a nest bowl with some shavings in

 

and turn them 2 times a day.
