Here is another photo of egg size comparison. The top carton is my old line of quail. The bottom carton is from my JMF and CL lines of birds. You can see the eggs in the bottom carton completely fill the slot while the eggs in the upper carton have much more space around them.

just out of curiosity where do you get those type of egg cartons from? all i can seem to find is the plastic ones and larger eggs do not fit in them.

I found them on eBay last summer. Had to buy 100 ct

this is a pic with my original mixed coturnix eggs, not the JMF.

I got these on eBay last year from ozarkaviary.com. Unfortunately from what I understand they are not selling them anymore and I have never seen them elsewhere.

My JMF eggs were brown jumbo 'C' line.

So are mine

Unfortunately I lost 3 of my hens tonight. They had broken and torn up legs when I gatherered eggs and checked feeders this evening. Something grabbed their legs through the 1x1/2 inch wire that the floor of my big breeder pen is made of. Spent the next hour putting a second bottom with a 4 inch space between it and the first layer. Very aggregated. But I do have my first 50 eggs in the bator due to hatch next Friday, and 60 more saved to go in end of the week.
