I have gone back to a branded model incubator for our quail eggs. This new quail egg incubator is an Italian made Ilumia 8 by Borotto and is all we really need for a small backyard quail egg ...

The 13 king quail chicks were three-days-old and the 'size of bumblebees' when they hatched. Bernard let the quails fluff up in the incubator for a few days and transferred them to a small heated pen.
