What is the perfect temp to keep quail eggs and chicken eggs in the same incubator?

[Quail_Guy]

Does anyone know the just right temp and humidity so that way I can incubator chicken and quails all at the same time with no problems?

Which type of quail?

Which type of quail?

Button quail.

It is my understanding that chicken eggs and button eggs use the same temp and humidity.

99.5–100.5° F
50-55% Humidity for incubating and
70% for lockdown

The issue is that button eggs go into lockdown sooner than chicken eggs. I'll let some others comment without giving any recommendations. I'm just passing on knowledge I've learned or read. I haven't personally tried to incubate both at the same time myself.

I'm not familiar with quail eggs, but when incubating duck eggs and chicken eggs together I start the duck eggs first. I time it so lock down and hatch are the same for ducklings and chicks.

Quail eggs go into lockdown the morning of day 15. Some say day 14.

I put them into lockdown day 14 and some starting hatching the end of day 15.
