Well written, and thorough "How to Guide" on hatching and brooding quail.
The only additional information I would add to this article is: The importance for need of an accurate calibrated independant thermometer and a calibrated hygrometer.
In addition, the temperature should be measured at the top of the eggs, this is true for both "forced air" and "still air" incubators.
Another point the author may want to consider adding is: in "still air" incubators that have the eggs being turned by hand, the temperature should be between 101°F to 103°F at the top of the egg, due to the eggs being horizontal, instead of up right as in an automatic turner, the eggs are further away from the heat source. Increasing the temperature will help maintain proper internal egg temperature.
These are the only reasons I rated this article 4 stars, instead of 5 stars.

Pictures ok but not much explanation on "how I built my coop". Also, would like to know why 1" wire mesh was used for the flooring? Seems that would be hard on their feet.

I like the rough sawn wood look. Don't know if pictures didn't load or there's just huge gaps between pictures.
Otherwise, a nice coop build from available materials.

Overall, useful information. I gave it 4 stars due to some grammatical and spelling errors, but other than that, a useful guide to beginner turkey raisers.

Well written, only discrepancy I have is with the % humidity being 75% or higher at lockdown. Humidity at that level has lead to 'stuck' chicks in my experince. Too much moisture acts as a lubricant, doesn't allow the chick to turn in the shell while zipping. Can also cause drown chicks by water droplets falling from the condensate on the viewing panes onto the pipped egg.
