Abstract
A total of 720 fertile quail eggs from a commercial quail breeder farm were incubated in layers of sawdust in a box heated by Kerosene or in an electric incubator. Different depths of sawdust (2, 3 and 4 cm) were compared in the box incubator. This system was also compared with an electric incubator. The proportion of live chicks hatched, as a percentage of fertile eggs set, increased linearly as the depth of sawdust was decreased from 4 to 2 cm. The sawdust incubator gave similar fertility, hatchability, and embryonic mortality values as the electric incubator. Use of sawdust for hatching quail eggs is an alternative option in situations either without electricity or where the power supply is erratic
