Chook Me!

How do I incubate a fresh quail egg without an incubator?

It was laid this afternoon and I think it has been abandoned & will be destroyed by dog or sprinklers tomorrow without help. Thanks.

1. It won't be easy. You could try using a desk lamp and an thermometer to monitor the temperature.The temp need to be between 99.5 and 100.5 F. Even a degree to high or low can hurt the embryo. You can reduce the heat by about 1/2 a degree after the first five days.
2. you could sit on it and be sure to turn it a few times a day.
3. Sit on it for 12 hrs per day.
