    Quail eggs typically take 17 to 18 days to hatch.

    The hatching time depends on consistent conditions, particularly temperature and humidity. Ideally, quail eggs should be incubated at a temperature of around 99.5°F (37.5°C) with a relative humidity of about 45% during the first 14 days. In the final days before hatching, the humidity should be increased to around 65% to help the chicks break through the shells.

    It’s important to turn the eggs several times a day during the first 14 days to ensure even development, but stop turning them on day 15 to allow the chicks to position themselves for hatching. Keeping these factors in balance will result in a successful hatch by day 18.
