What incubation temps and humidity? For quail ASAP please

Just an update for @Nabiki and @007Sean I went with my gut and I let the incubator do its thing and I trusted what it was telling me, I did 45% humidity and 60%in lock down, out of the 54 eggs 49 hatched 3 were infertile 1 died during hatching and 1 died just before lockdown (want at the right stage) Just thought I’d update you on it, Also I wanted to know what breed of Coturnix quail these are, I’ve not got many of them and I’m not sure what breed they are View attachment 4070725View attachment 4070726
Congratulations on your hatch. They are not called breeds, they are known by species name or their color variations. The species is Coturnix, then there are color variations or color morhs. I'm not familiar with color variations, @Nabiki would be better at determining color than I.
ETA-- may be a Rosetta? I'm not an expert on Coturnix color variations.

Congratulations on an excellent hatch!

Quail don't have breeds like chickens, dogs, or cats, but they do have colour variations. Yours look like some red range, maybe rosetta, maybe amber. You'll have a much better idea in a couple weeks.
