Use a broody bantam chicken to sit on them. Actually, peafowl farmers often use a broody hen to sit on peafowl eggs for the first seven days, then put them in an incubator for the remaining 21 days. This is done because there is something about the early development of the embryo that works better under a bird.

How can you tell if a bobwhite quail is alive or dead or about to hatch?

Well since I have a Bobwhite Quail egg at home, when it is dead it is cold even when it has been in an incubator. When it is about to hatch you will hear peeping inside the egg. If it is alive than it will be warm. To keep it warm and alive you have to turn the egg 3 times a day. It takes about 23 to 24 days to hatch if you have cared for it correctly. However it may hatch early.
