120 count quail egg turner

[Th55]

Anyone ever maxed out the incubator with 120 eggs? I got a new hova bator 1588 and filled it up, but now I’m wondering if it will handle them should the hatch rate be high.
I have a LG that I could move some to at lock down but have had fits trying to control humidity with it.

It will handle them all. First day quail are exceptionally small. When you take them out of the turner and lay the eggs on the tray without it, you'll see there's plenty of room for them all. If all 120 of them hatch, it will be tight. However, they'll keep each other warm and they're only in there for a short time before you put them in the brooder. Make sure you've got the brooder prepared for a large number of birds.
