How long do quail eggs take to hatch?
14.5 days of incubation (transfer to hatching chamber) to 17.5 days of incubation (hatching)
typically 17.5 days
Quail eggs hatch after 17.5 days of incubation, with the eggs moved to the hatching chamber at 14.5 days.
- The documented incubation protocol used a setting chamber of 14 days at 37.6–38.0 °C and 50–65% humidity, then a hatching chamber of 3.5 days at 37.0–37.5 °C and 75–80% humidity.
- Eggs were transferred to the hatching chamber at 14.5 days of incubation and hatched after 17.5 days of incubation.
These are the documented figures; individual animals vary and a veterinarian is the right reader of any concern.
