    Please I need help quickly. Quail eggs won't fit into my quail rails!

    Yes, like all eggs, they go small side down. These eggs from JMF were just horrible but when I switched to the Northwest Game Bird eggs I didn't have any problem.

    Please I need help quickly. Quail eggs won't fit into my quail rails!

    @Tammy N Actually they are standard quail racks. I've actually been really nice and forgiving toward Robby. My eggs through James Marie Farms were all different shapes and sizes (as I noted in my original post), and Robby said that he was going to send me a refund for the bad eggs. He...

    Please I need help quickly. Quail eggs won't fit into my quail rails!

    I'm not sure how much the little giant differs from my Genesis Hova Bator, but it holds 120 quail eggs and if the eggs were small enough it would easily fit all 120 eggs. The trick is just getting normal/standard coturnix quail and not jumbo quail. My problem was that of the 100 eggs, some...

    Please I need help quickly. Quail eggs won't fit into my quail rails!

    Thanks! I have no problem with people wanting larger birds and I totally get why people do it. People just need to realize that if you go buy standard quail incubators and quail egg cartons and other "quail" apparatus, you are going to be in a world of hurt when you go buy jumbo quail eggs...

    Please I need help quickly. Quail eggs won't fit into my quail rails!

    Well since I wrote the original post I pulled out 3 of the egg racks and sorted through the eggs to find the 60 smallest eggs which I am now incubating. There was no way that they would have all fit, and the 40 largest would have been crushed by the other egg racks or just tipped out of the...

    Please I need help quickly. Quail eggs won't fit into my quail rails!

    Can I assume that the smaller eggs that I'm incubating will lead to smaller birds that will lay normal sized eggs so I won't have this problem in the future?

    Please I need help quickly. Quail eggs won't fit into my quail rails!

    Well that wasn't fun. I put the 60 smallest eggs into the incubator and threw the largest 40 away. The eggs were surprisingly not very uniform. Some were fat, some skinny, some tall and some short. Is this normal? I bought a $200 incubator so I wouldn't have to turn the eggs by hand...

    Please I need help quickly. Quail eggs won't fit into my quail rails!

    I'm tempted to take 2 of the rails out so I would run the outside two rails and the middle rails, and then throw out the 40 biggest eggs and see if that works. I'm not even sure if there are 60 eggs worth incubating though. When the rail tips some of them fall out of the holes. Are ALL...

    Please I need help quickly. Quail eggs won't fit into my quail rails!

    I just got my 100 coturnix quail eggs from James Marie Farms. I wanted standard sized quail, which they said they provide, and marked on the package that they sent me, and now when I'm trying to fit them into the incubator there is NO way that they are the right size for the quail racks. I...
